[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Formatting Title and Notes fields

[Prom, Christopher John]

Just FYI, Scott Schwartz and I are going to scope out some ideas as to how the UI for these wrap and formatting functions can be improved, for possible implementation consideration.    If anyone would like to help on this, please contact me off list.

It looks like some rendering issues not he front end also need to be addressed, as per below, so we'll take Mark's note into consideration.

I just tested each “wrap in tag” option in ASpace v1.0.4, and here’s what I found out (please note: this might be documented elsewhere in more detail):

blockquote         -->           renders fine, since it uses the HTML <blockquote> element
date, function, occupation, subject, corpname, famname, name, geogname, genreform              -->           plain text, which makes sense
title        -->           plain text, whether a render attribute is supplied or not (not sure about this, but if the HTML and/or PDF style sheets provided with ASpace are used with the EAD, then the elements will be styled)
emph (without a render attribute)          -->           italicized text
emph (with any of the 14 render attributes in EAD, which lacks an option for bolditalicunderline, even though that can be done in HTML)  -->           uses  CSS to render as expected, but the doublequote and singlequote options (4 in total) use straight quotes, and they also seem to add a space around the quoted text…  so I probably wouldn’t use those.
lb            -->           renders fine, since it uses the HTML <br> element.  That said, you’ll have to make sure that you don’t actually “wrap” anything with this element.
extref   -->           plain text, which is strange
ref          -->           ditto

There are tabs to look at the fields.  One is the view of what is seen from the Patron side and can include HTML markup.  The other shows it formatted already.

I am entering titles of books, newspapers, and articles in the Title and Notes fields. How are these underlined or italicized?
