When the content is in Markdown, HTML or another well-known markup format, I've had moderate success in the past using Pandoc’s custom writer feature.
For this approach you'd need to export each post out of the database into individual files. Then with pandoc installed, you can run `pandoc --print-default-data-file sample.lua` to get a "starter" Lua script, then edit the script to produce strings of Pollen markup. Then you can run pandoc against each source file and specify the edited Lua script as the "writer". This can be fussy to set up, but if you have many posts you want to migrate it is much less tedious than editing them all by hand. https://github.com/otherjoel/try-pollen#converting-markdown-to-pollen http://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#custom-writers On Friday, March 22, 2019 at 2:18:18 PM UTC-5, Shrutarshi Basu wrote: > > Hello everyone, > I've been a light Pollen user for a few years, but I'm considering biting > the bullet and finally converting my WordPress blog to Pollen.
