[Emilda-devel] special characters in forms

[David E. <dav...@ad...>]

Hi,

I'm still seeing some issues with special characters in forms.

This time, it is noticed while searching.  For example on
demo.emilda.org (latest nightly), click search, enter the following
string:

   less <is> more

When the result is returned, the form is populated with:

   less  more

The reason I noticed this is that I had somehow thought that we had
prepared searching to use @not (line 235 of lib/search.inc).  However,
this was not functioning because of a yaz conflict with "!" (see
attached mail), so I changed line 235 to use "<>" instead of "!!".

Unfortunately, when entering "<>" into the form, it never makes it into
the variable and is instead, stripped out.

I have tested @not with other characters and it is functional.  I hope
we can still use @not in the coming stable release of Emilda, as well
has handle these characters in the Emilda forms themselves.

Thanks,
Dave.
