This Python script parses a Blogger XML export and writes all posts as Markdown files, WITHOUT converting HTML to Markdown, Markdown also allows raw HTML.
With this method we have a more reliable import, with the downside that our old posts will be more difficult to edit of course.
It also supports download images locally, just add
--download-images as command line argument.
Run as:
python pelican_import_blogger_html.py blogger_export_file.xml --output=mypelicansite/content/
