Actually, I came across some XML records downloaded from the Pubmed site which use the ForeName name instead of FirstName. I do not remember now how I was getting records with the FirstName tag. At any rate, the changed patch attached below can cope with both tags. -- Rafael
Use FirstName instead of ForeName tag in the Author record, which is the correct SGML tag name according to the NCBI Medline format specification (see http://xml.coverpages.org/ncbiPubFormat.html). -- Rafael Laboissiere <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Wed, 26 Nov 2008 13:34:04 +0100 --- a/lib/medin.c +++ b/lib/medin.c @@ -201,8 +201,8 @@ /* <AuthorList CompleteYN="Y"> * <Author> * <LastName>Barondeau</LastName> - * <ForeName>David P</ForeName> - * <Initials>DP</Initials> + * <FirstName>David P</FirstName> + * (or <ForeName>David P</ForeName>) * </Author> * </AuthorList> */ @@ -216,7 +216,7 @@ newstr_prepend( name, node->value->data ); } else newstr_strcat( name, node->value->data ); - } else if ( xml_tagexact( node, "ForeName" ) ) { + } else if ( xml_tagexact( node, "FirstName" ) || xml_tagexact( node, "ForeName" ) ) { p = node->value->data; while ( p && *p ) { if ( name->len ) newstr_addchar( name, '|' );
