<p class="MsoPlainText">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">We've encountered an issue with the v2.1.2 Print-to-PDF button in the public interface--apparently for any resource record with an ampersand that is followed immediately by another character that is not a space (e.g. "b&w" or "AT&T"),
the ampersand is misinterpreted and causes the Print-to-PDF button to fail with an error. For me, that error is just "something went wrong", but the log shows this (when it gets tripped up on "b&w"):<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">RuntimeError (Failed to clean XML: The reference to entity "w" must end with the ';' delimiter.):<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">So we're guessing ArchivesSpace is thinking "&w" should be "&w;", and so forth for any other string of text with an ampersand. I checked this by going into a record that wouldn’t print and changing the lone suspect ampersand (“AT&T”
to “AT and T”) and the PDF generated just fine.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">This doesn't impact being able to just view resource records in the public interface, it's just the PDF function that isn't working. It's a problem, though, because we want to be able to use that PDF functionality but we also have a
lot of ampersands in our resource records! Has anyone else experienced this issue or possibly come up with a fix?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
