Convert WordPress to markdown #506

Closed collimarco closed 1 year ago

collimarco commented 1 year ago

I am trying to convert a blog from WordPress export file to Jekyll.

I see that Jekyll just imports the Wordpress HTML (with useless classes, html comments, etc.)...

  1. Is there any option to convert the posts to a clean markdown format?
  2. Also, is there any way to choose the attributes of the frontmatter that we want to keep (because most of them are useless)?

32, #49, #138 are old issues I found relating to this.

I haven't (yet) found an HTML to markdown converter that I find good enough to recommend to everyone. Maybe we could add some docs for the WP importer to point users to these kinds of tools.

Looks like in #138, a user posted a pretty good script which uses pandoc.

But the short answer is that no, Jekyll import doesn't currently translate HTML to markdown for the WordPress importer.
