Importing bulk text to glossaries from a database

Importing bulk text to glossaries from a database

Found a way for a calc field in FileMaker to wrap the <ENTRY> xml code around the fields in each record of a database (see attached) then it was a matter of pasting the body of the beast (800 or so entries) between head and tail.

It is all up there now but it was a pain coaxing Moodle to import it in one gulp. It didn't like apostraphes of a certain style and a few bits of [not so] plain text.

Is there a particular encoding that is best for Moodle to take it in (ANSI, unicode ??) and is there a concise fact sheet (or good folks that might know) that can inform which characters should be stripped (with find/replace) to clean the text before import?
