This is a general issue when you have text that allow the use of placeholders
{}. You need to escape apostrophes with another apostrophe, ie write
publication''s

[Dspace-tech] Apostrophes in email templates? </div><div>
</div>Hi,
DSpace v4.1/JSPUI.
I have been tweaking the email templates and have noticed issues when
attempting to include apostrophes in a template. There appear to be 2 issues:
1. Apostrophes do not display
2. If an apostrophe is used before the placeholders in the template, then the
placeholders are not replaced (so email is sent out with {0}, {1} etc)
So, for issue 1 for example, my template contains the sentence:
"This is a permanent URL so you can use it to reference this publication and it
will be included with the publication's citation on your RMS webpage."
- but when the email arrives, it contains:
"This is a permanent URL so you can use it to reference this publication and it
will be included with the publications citation on your RMS webpage."
[i.e. no apostrophe!]
I have ensured my templates are encoded in UTF-8 (without the BOM as I noted
this also caused issues) using Notepad++ and have the following in DSpace
config:
mail.charset = UTF-8
I searched the mailing lists and Jira but could find no direct reference to
issue 1, and only one reference to issue 2 from way back in 2004:
http://sourceforge.net/p/dspace/mailman/message/9304257/
- where the workaround was "not to use apostrophes in email templates!" :-)
Has anyone else come across this? Anyone have any thoughts on how to get this
working?
My library colleagues are in the process of redrafting all our emails and
whilst I am able to tweak them to remove apostrophes (they've all contained at
least one apostrophe to date!) in some cases this makes the wording a bit
clumsy so it would be much nicer to fix the problem at source :-)
Any pointers, thoughts, or suggestions welcome.
Cheers,
Mike
