Wpconv

Converting Wordpress export XML to Markdown(or other format).

$ gem install wpconv

wpconv convert WP_XML_PATH

Options:
  -o, [--output-dir=/path/to/output_dir]                             
  -t, [--template=/path/to/your_template.erb]                        
  -n, [--filename-format=date-name(default), name or id]             
  -f, [--filter=markdown(default), none or /path/to/your_filter.rb]  

example:

$ wpconv convert wordpress.2014-08-21.xml -o /tmp -n id

This example creates Markdown files from Wordpress export XML. The output directory is /tmp and the output filenames are based on Wordpress post_id in this case.

-o is to specify the output direcoty.

-n is to specify the format of filename.

-t and -f are advanced options to customize output. If you would like to use these options, you should write an erb template or some ruby code. See templating and filter sections for more details.

You can create a custom erb template to adjust outputs as you like.

template valiables @item and @channel are available. These are Hash objects including wordpress items and channel data.

Specify -t option if you would like to use your template.

$ wpconv convert wordpress.2014-08-21.xml -o /tmp -t my_markdown.erb

This is the default template for your information.

---
title:  <%= @item[:title] %>
date:   <%= @item[:post_date] %>
layout: <%= @item[:post_type] %>
categories: [<%= @item[:categories].join(',') %>]
tags: [<%= @item[:tags].join(',') %>]
---

<%= @item[:content] %>

You can use a custom filter for a camplicate converting logic. A filter affects @item[:content].

You should write some ruby code for creating a custom filter.

The example below is a built in filter 'none'. All filter classes should be under Wpconv::Filter module. And the class name should be the camelized file name.

module Wpconv
  module Filter
    class None
      def self.apply(source_content)
        source_content
      end
    end
  end
end

Another example, creating 'my_filter'.

module Wpconv
  module Filter
    class MyFilter
      def self.apply(source_content)
        source_content.tap do |content|
          content.gsub!(/foo/, 'bar')

          # write the filter logic here...

        end
      end
    end
  end
end

Specify -f option if you would like to use your filter.

$ wpconv convert wordpress.2014-08-21.xml -o /tmp -f my_filter.rb
