Hello, My library recently made the switch to Koha, and I am thus still getting used to it. One major trouble I am having is with the 505 field if I want to include an enhanced (as opposed to simply formatted) contents note to allow patrons to access chapters of edited volumes by title/author searches rather than just keywords. I am used to formatting them as a chain of $t /$r within a single field, but since Koha has separate form fields for each subfield, I feel a little out to sea on this one. Every variation I try makes the display unusable and doesn't visually connect the $t subfield to the appropriate $r subfield in the OPAC. Do I need to repeat the entire 505 tag for each individual entry? I saw in the list archive that there is a bug-fix related to the 505 field, will this fix the problem, or is there some aspect of formatting that I am missing? Any help would be very appreciated. Thank you, Charles Ed Hill Natural Hazards Library - University of Colorado, Boulder

currently - probably yes (but, i haven't tested this)
