We use it at my library/archive to convert EADs (XML finding aids) into something we can present to a human.

This change breaks something that's been working for us without issue for over a decade, and it's personally a PITA because I'm the only dev-adjacent person in the library and fixing this takes me away from other stuff. (I'm spread thin and we've been in a hiring freeze for 5 years. I love my coworkers but there's so much work stuff I have to deprioritoze in order to do the important stuff, it feels unfair when a big corporation decides to break something on me.)

    You just need literally anything else other than the native browser to do it no?

    I can't guarantee an online researcher/visitor has anything other than a browser and I sure as heck don't want to walk them through installing something on whatever machine they're using. I do enough tech support as it is.

    Current plan is to have the web server do it, it's just another thing on my plate that I need to figure out how to do.
