Question: How to handle comma separated fields where a value contains a comma #61

Open majora2007 opened 2 months ago

majora2007 commented 2 months ago

Where does this comes from?

A user has brought up a problem in parsing of StoryArc where there is the following string Infinity, Inc. StoryArc naturally can have multiple values that are comma separated and thus, Kavita parses this as 2 story arcs.

But there is nothing in the spec that has guidance in how comma should be encoded when it's not the separator string.

https://github.com/Kareadita/Kavita/issues/3026

What is the rationale for adding support for this element?

No response

Is the element already handled by any application or tool?

No response

Well comicrack keeps it as separate elements no matter what you do (at least I've never been able to get it to) so any encoding that you implement will not be backwards compatible
