RIS Parser improvement to handle lines starting with spaces #180

Closed epoz closed 12 years ago

epoz commented 12 years ago

Some records may contain fields that have values split across multiple lines in the source file. These are commonly prefixed with 1 or more space characters to indicate that they belong with the preceding line.

See: http://lists.okfn.org/pipermail/openbiblio-dev/2012-February/000618.html for the first identification of this problem.

The RIS spec wasn't very clear as to whether there had to be leading spaces (and if so how many) or simply an absence of the 6-character Regex. But we should take it as epoz specifies
