Description

Trying to import something from Google Scholar via the Import into Endnote option works, but generates an error in the console
stating
not well-formed and undefined.
It also messes up the page numbers.

The example URL I tried was the first one returned from this URL
http://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&lr=&client=firefox-a&q=F.+L.+King+and+W.+W.+Harrison%2C+Mass+Spectrom.+Rev+1990&btnG=Search
(subsequent entries also fail).

and the endnote file is attached.

  • Resolution set to wontfix
  • Status changed from new to closed

This issue is unresolvable. The issue is related to the text encoding of the RIS file delivered when you click the link, because the pages field contains an en dash encoded as an extended character (rather than as a hyphen). Unfortunately, Mozilla does not offer us any method by which to detect the encoding of a text file, and different text files have different character sets. The easy solution is to use the folder icon :-)
