Description
- names like
"Acer rubrum"(with quotes) currently get encoded as!quo Acer rubrum !quo, which TNRS can't parse (but will at least pass through verbatim) - unfortunately, the encoding/decoding is required in order to make TNRS's
Name_submittedmatch the actual submitted name- otherwise, some input names would not be entered verbatim in the TNRS cache, causing them to be repeatedly re-scrubbed
- fixing this requires matching TNRS output names to input names by
Name_numberinstead ofName_submitted, to avoid relying onName_submitted- in this case,
Name_submittedwould instead contain a TNRS-preprocessed version of the input name, rather than the exact encoded input name - some characters would no longer need to be encoded, because it will be OK for TNRS to strip them out
- however, some characters break TNRS completely, so those will still need to be encoded or stripped out in advance
- in this case,
