Bug Description
Today I uploaded EAD to an item and when I edited the EAD, added all of my links and refreshed the page all of the headings disappeared except for one. Here is a link to the item:
http://
Attached is a screenshot of what the EAD container looked like before I added the links. I took this screen shot because I actually had a problem with another EAD item where the headings were truncated (but didn't totally disappear) and I thought that it maybe had something to do with special characters? Colons or dashes for instance? Here is a link to the truncated one:
http://
I suppose I can look at the original ead.xml file to see what the heading originally was but is there a way for me to edit the headings? If not, is there a way to redo these? (Delete the .xml file and re-upload it?) Can you help me figure out what the problem is so I can try and prevent for future items?
Thanks!

Okay, I finally figured this one out. For the items where heading become truncated after editing, there is an <emph
render="italic"> tag included in the <unittitle> tag. Everything that appears after the emphasis disappears. If I delete those tags, re-upload the .xml file and re-edit the EAD thing appear and work just fine.
I'm doing these for Leo Baeck and they are okay with me removing that tag. From now on I will just look the ead.xml files over first before uploading them.
