I'm going to poke around in this a bit more...
The TransformHtmlToMarc doesn't seem to affect it... If I do $record->as_formatted then I see: likeminded If I do $record->as_xml then I see:  Looking at https://metacpan.org/dist/MARC-File-XML/source/lib/MARC/File/XML.pm#L378 there is an escape function that escapes ampersands and angle brackets. In theory, maybe MARC::File::XML should escape any invalid characters using character references or remove them since they're invalid. But MARC::File::XML's escaping means it's impossible for us to pre-escape any invalid characters. It feels like MARC::File::XML is essentially holding us hostage. We need to clean our input data (in whatever format) before it reaches MARC::File::XML, which seems a bit silly, since it's the XML format which has the restrictions... That being said... the XML 1.0 spec is pretty forgiving. After review, it's really just excluding *some* ASCII control characters, Unicode surrogates, U+FFFE, and U+FFFF. That's a really small number of characters and none of them are printable characters. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.
