[xml import] find matching text in XMLs and copy that to the APIS version of the bio to circumvent the issues with the special characters

[sennierer]

see eg this history

During the export of the XMLs originally used for the APIS import some (not all) special characters got lost. This problem does not exist anymore in the current exports (whether Verlag dump, or GIDEON export). In order to get resolve the special character issue we should find the correct "Haupttext" and "Kurzinfo" in the XMLs, compare it with the APIS text and copy it over in case the len(text_XML) == len(text_APIS). Like that we can be certain all the special characters are in the new version.

Example from the link above: CVŠT (APIS) vs. ČVŠT (XML)

Can you please describe the issue you are referring to? I don't know what the described solutions tries to fix and if we revisit this issue in a couple of weeks we save a lot of time if we don't have to find out what this could have meant

should be more verbose now.
