Improve file name generation #1

Open dkirkby opened 4 years ago

dkirkby commented 4 years ago

The file name is currently derived from the paper title with the following modifications:

truncate to maxlen (default 250)
replace \n with ` and/with_`
append .pdf

This issue is to improve this by replacing other special characters that might cause problems on a mirrored local file system, and also using a regexp to replace a sequence of white space with a single space.

Related to this, some titles contain latex math $...$.

For example, http://export.arxiv.org/api/query?id_list=1311.1767

Was this originally uploaded with "$α$" or is this some standard arxiv processing?
