The API is no longer accessible and the code did not work in python 3
(base64.encodestring was expecting bytes, not string)
In Wordpress, inserting image with a caption can look like:
[caption id="attachment_42" caption="Image Description"]<a ...><img ... /></a>[/caption]
[caption id="attachment_42"]<a ...><img ... /></a> Image Description[/caption]
[caption id="attachment_42"]<img ... > Image Description[/caption]
Replace by an HTML figure tag
When importing a blog, a error is logged: 'No timezone information
specified in the settings'.
This is because the code calls read_settings() but no configuration
file is provided.
Instead of providing one (users may not already have one if they are
at the import step), use the default settings.
Adds a `preserve_case` parameter to the `slugify()` function and uses it
to preserve capital letters in category names when using the Pelican
importer.
This commit removes Six as a dependency for Pelican, replacing the
relevant aliases with the proper Python 3 imports. It also removes
references to Python 2 logic that did not require Six.
This PR removes the Python 3.4 tox task and updates references in the
code to Python 3.5+.
tox complains about Python 3.4, which is EOL after next month:
> py34 installed: DEPRECATION: Python 3.4 support has been deprecated. pip 19.1 will be the last one supporting it. Please upgrade your Python as Python 3.4 won't be maintained after March 2019 (cf PEP 429).
Specific options passed to pandoc2 in order to get similar results than
with pandoc1:
- Disable smart quotes from the markdown output.
- Enable raw parsing from html.
Check for 0 dates.
For my own blog this means it doesn't break during import, but I don't know pelican well enough yet to say if this is correct or not.
