Description

bug

Single-quoted YAML values keep their quotes. For example, TreeOfLife-toolbox writes its citation file with single quotes, which is valid YAML:

    orcid: 'https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2664-451X'
    given-names: 'Matthew J'

The author-section parser in githubImporter.js strips only double quotes
