428,Line endings missing in imported RIS notes,dstillman,simon,"From http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/143/:

   ''In Windows XP, I imported my Endnote library which has some pretty extensive notes on some books and articles in the ""Notes"" fields. Unfortunately, they've been rendered pretty unreadable in Zotero because all the line endings within the notes fields are lost on import.''

   ''To export from Endnote, I selected RIS Output Style and then exported to a text file. The line endings, including those in the notes field, are clearly present in the text file when I open it in Notepad.''

From a quick glance at the code, it looks like we read the RIS file line-by-line and then append the line to the previous with a space. The newline isn't returned by nsILineInputStream (or whatever we're using--I see a few different read() methods), but can we just have it use a ""\n"" instead of a space if this is an N1/N2/AB field?

We should probably also not trim whitespace (e.g. {{{line = line.replace(/^\s+/, """")}}}) in a note, since there might be tabs, etc.

In a separate but related matter, it looks like newlines are stripped when exporting as well:
{{{
addTag(""N1"", item.notes[j].note.replace(/[\r\n]/g, "" ""));
}}}

(from RIS's doExport(), ~ line 6426)

Do we have a reason for doing this? Is EndNote not in-spec?",defect,closed,major,1.0 Beta 3,ingester,1.0,fixed,,stakats
