Use case: You want to move away from Wordpress to Ikiwiki as your blogging/website platform, but you want to retain your old posts.

This is a simple tool that generates git-fast-import-compatible data from a WordPress export XML file.

WordPress categories are mapped onto Ikiwiki tags. The ability to import comments is planned.

The script uses the BeautifulSoup module.


I include a modified version of this script. This version includes the ability to write [[!tag foo]] directives, which the original intended, but didn't actually do.
