Hi Demian,

Thanks for this (and also to Paul for his clues) - this explains things.
This gives me something to work on.

For mysterious reasons, Syndetics likes to return text surrounded by
empty anchor tags...  and this causes VuFind's CSS to represent the text
as a link.

Two possible solutions:

1.) You might be able to customize your CSS to override the behavior for
<a> tags inside <fld>tags (or whatever other XML tags Syndetics is
producing)

2.) On the server side, you might be able to use a regular expression to
eliminate the surrounding <a>...</a> from the Syndetics text.

Subject: [VuFind-General] Excerpts tab format query

Hi,

I am trying to use the Excerpts tab to display the content of
summary.xml from Syndetics. This is working fine in that the information
from Syndetics appears and displays. However, it looks like it is a link
- blue and underlined and I cannot for the life of me see how to get rid
of this formatting. I edited /web/sys/Exceprts.php to get the info from
Syndetics replacing the request for Excerpts with the link to the
summary file. I am assuming that something in a css file is affecting
this layout - but where? I can't see anything in view-excerpt.tpl or
view.tpl.

If anyone has any ideas I would, as usual, be delighted to hear. I have
made this work on our live system so if you want to see an example
please look here:

We are v1.3.

Many thanks,

Tim
