[Archivesspace_Users_Group] 2 Bug fixes for as-ead-pdf.xsl - Staff interface PDF generation

[Neal Fitzgerald]

One of our large collections has an archival object with an Index and items in the note section. This was causing the PDF generation to fail with a fatal error in the log:

ValidationException: Missing attribute on fo:basic-link: Either external-destination or internal-destination must be specified.

as the EAD XML contains <ref> elements which do not have an @target attribute

I changed line 1106 in the linking section:
   <!-- Linking elmenets -->
    <xsl:template match="ead:ref">
to
   <xsl:template match="ead:ref[@target]">

to match only those ref tags with and @target attribute and this solved the problem.

This same collection had a number of digital objects with unpublished File URIs that had whitespace before and after the URI, probably from a copy and paste error or perhaps as an artifact of an import process.

When the staff PDF generation was run with the 'include unpublished' box ticked the process failed with an "illegal character" message listing the first offending URI

I solved this by adding a normalize-space function to the XSLT wherever I found:
<fo:basic-link external-destination="url('{@*:href}')"
ie to
<fo:basic-link external-destination="url('{normalize-space(@*:href)}')"

Cheers
