Finally, regarding punctuation, here I am comparing the search_form, which is constructed by _get_search_heading. This method, among other things, removes the parentheses and punctuation from the end of each subfield, and so largely standardizes the notation, bypassing some of the possible problems of inaccurate notation.
And interestingly, even without current patch default linker will not link a heading if there is a difference in the internal punctuation (inside a subfield) but will will link when there is a difference in letters. To illustrate: with ktd standard data, with ES, 1. try to link: Heylin Clinton. [no comma] --> no result 2. try to link: Heylin, Clinton. [two spaces after a comma] --> no result 3. try to link: Heylin, Clintön. ['ö' instead of 'o'] --> match and linked! And the form in the authority record is 'Heylin, Clinton.' So it is now that "punctuation difference" or "whitespace difference" make linker not to link. It is not the current patch that prevents this or changes something here. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
