wp2middleman

A command line tool to help move a Wordpress blog to Middleman.

wp2middleman migrates the posts contained in a Wordpress XML export file to Middleman-style markdown files.

NOTE: This fork has been modified (hacked?) to generate MM post filenames based on the permalink format used in my blog.

For example, give the following...

# Title
Translators, Inc.

# Permalink
http://www.OFReport.com/2016/12/translators/

...the filename output for the MM post should be this:

2016-12-translators.html.markdown

Installation

gem install wp2middleman

Commandline Usage

wp2mm some_wordpress_export.xml

Results in YYYY-MM-DD-Some-Title.html.markdown, formatted as such:

---
title: 'Some Title'
date: YYYY-MM-DD
tags: foo, bar
---

<p>The post content in HTML or text, depending on how it was saved to Wordpress.</p>
<ul>
<li>list item</li>
<li>another list item</li>
</ul>

Optional Parameters

--include_fields=FIELD_ONE FIELD_TWO ETC   includes specific fields in frontmatter
