DSpace uses the apache CSV having library which supports embedded line feeds. I recommend using your choice of spreadsheet and exporting as CSV. We use line feeds to get stuff like: http://researcharchive.vuw.ac.nz/handle/10063/2845 If they're not displaying you may need to add a line to style.css: .simple-item-view-description div {white-space: pre-wrap;} Embedded HTML is a _really_ bad idea. cheers stuart -- Stuart Yeates Library Technology Services http://www.victoria.ac.nz/library/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn the latest--Visual Studio 2012, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, more!
