Topics have no information attached to them #16

On Libretexts, many topics, such as Bookshelves have information attached to them : those are usually large descriptions, sometimes with links.

The problem is that we use this tree as a topic tree in kolibri which serves only navigation. So in Kolibri, there is no such thing as information attached to a topic. Topic do have a description field that we could use but it's maxed at 200 characters.

@kelson42 @Popolechien we should discuss how to address this issue.

Hmm unless you modify TopicNode in some way I'm not sure how to get around this limitation.

Do you happen to have a different method than kolibri2zim to get files scraped and into a zim file? I assume that might be more flexible than using Kolibri as an intermediate format.

Solution strategy is:

Ask upstream Kolibri to allow more than 200 characters (@rgaudin we need a ticket link)
For the moment, don't migrate this text as long as Kolibri does not properly support it
