[Archivesspace_Users_Group] replacing [i] with <i> and [/i] with </i>, etc

[Douglas James Simmons]

While I understand that a global search and replace can be done to replace one formatting tag for another, either in archon prior to a migration or in the aspace db after the migration, I'm beginning to question this approach. I was taught to always separate content from presentation. So, rather than allowing presentation layer information to continue be stored within the data itself (this seems like it was originally just a workaround in archon), would it not be better to 1: globally remove rather than replace these formatting tags and 2: request that bold/italic/underline formatting functions eventually be built into the aspace interface?

Thanks,
