Description Fridolin Somers 2013-06-25 10:03:54 UTC
When using OPAC without XSLT, user can not distinguish the limit between the title and the subtitle.
With XSLT, there is a ":" separator (for example between 200 $a and $e in UNIMARC).

In our case (MARC21) titles (245 $a) have the colon included. If this patch were added we would end up with double colons. As far as I know our data is correct according to the MARC21 rules, so I don't know how you could accomplish this for UNIMARC without causing problems for MARC21 libraries.

Ok.
I also notices in all templates the title and subtitle are concatenated without separator.
So if something must be done for subtitle that does not contain a separator, this patch is not the good method.
Setting as invalid.
