Get methods

get_methods() returns the text stored in the methods element of EML metadata. The returned text is not manipulated in any way. DataStore unlists the returned object (get rid of tags such as $methodStep, $methodStep$description and $methodStep$description$para and remove the numbers in brackets). the "\n" character combination is interpreted as a line break (as are blank lines). However, DataStore will not filter out stray characters such as 
. Use the set_methods() function to edit and replace the text stored in the methods field.
