HTML entities in extract #22

Open mackensen opened 6 years ago

This issue may be specific to our environment. We have several common occurrences of HTML entities in our extract, specifically ' in surnames and & for some department names (our Anthropology and Sociology department goes by "A&S").

These are faithfully recreated in Moodle and they're encoded correctly in most display scenarios, though we see some odd behavior with the gradebook export, and when editing course settings. I've noticed in my test environment that Moodle handles the raw values ' and & just fine.

My question, then, is whether LMB can transform these entities during the synchronization process, or whether there's a broader issue here.

I'll have to take a look at that. I thought I corrected that at some point (long ago), because we would have ' and &'s in banner. I'll test some to see if I can figure out why that is happening.
