Hi Caitlin,
I never know what the error messages mean, but it is probably something within

Caitlin,
It looks like that error means that the conversion process is trying to replace
some text (using “sub”), but there’s no text there at the point that it’s

Hi all,

Dear ArchivesSpace community:
Apologies for the length of this. I’ll try to address a lot of comments, but
not all! Please let me know if (as they may well do) my elaborations only
