[Koha] Koha Escaping HTML characters

[Stefano Bargioni]

Hi, Sheldon:
I suggest you to use something like

text1 -- text2 -- text3

in your data, and convert strings ' -- ' into '<br/>' or '<p>' while displaying a 500 field in opac pages.
You can do it using Javascript (jQuery) statements, something like this:

var t = $('.contentblock').html();
t = t.replace(/ -- /g,'<p>');
$('.contentblock').html(t);

This works in pages like "http://.../cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=NNN", where 5xx tags are contained in html tags with class "contentblock".
See http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/JQuery_Library for adding jQuery code to your Koha.
