<p>Use case: You want to move away from Wordpress to Ikiwiki as your blogging/website platform, but you want to retain your old posts.</p>
<p><a href="https://chris-lamb.co.uk/projects/ikiwiki-wordpress-import">This</a> is a simple tool that generates <a href="http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-fast-import.html">git-fast-import</a>-compatible data from a WordPress export XML file.</p>
<p>WordPress categories are mapped onto Ikiwiki tags. The ability to import comments is planned.</p>
<p>The script uses the <a href="http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/">BeautifulSoup</a> module.</p>
<hr />
<p>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.</p>

<p>Perhaps slightly insane, but here's an XSLT style sheet that handles my pages. It's basic, but sufficient to get started.
Note that I had to break up the ikiwiki meta strings to post this.</p>
