pubmed abstracts import with XML format codes

I've recently noticed that the XML formatting codes are all through my recently imported pubmed abstracts. I don't know when it started. I know there's a thread about this re: abstract section headers, BUT I've also noticed other formatting codes like < for the less than sign (<), and no doubt many more.

Here's the section headers thread: http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/16254/abstracts-with-sections-in-code . Note: there seems to be a bug in the current section headers fix.

I wonder it would make sense to have a translation table in the advanced preferences, where one could set up automatic replacements on import. Replace < with <, et al.

Thanks for all the effort. Zotero is great.
  • The other codes should now be dealt with. Try installing the version on Github again (linked to in the other thread); it now handles the XML entities that you are running into.
  • The fixed version is now on Github, but see my note on 2.0.9 in the other thread if appropriate.
