Dotclear

Invocation

Sample snippet to invoke the importer:

jekyll-import dotclear --datafile PATH --mediafolder DIR

Notes

• Paths are always resolved relative to current directory.
• Posts will be imported into _drafts directory to avoid overwriting any existing file with same filename inside _posts.
• Posts will be imported as HTML files with .html file extension.
• Excerpts if non-empty will be prepended onto content string separated by a blank line i.e. <excerpt>\n\n<content>.
• The same excerpt will be added to front matter to prevent Jekyll from generating a separate excerpt.
• Existing comments linked to posts in the export-file WILL NOT be imported.
• “Categories” are not currently imported from the export-file.
• “Tags” however will be imported and added to relevant posts’ front matter.
• Post URLs are imported from the export-file into front matter with key original_url.
• Jekyll doesn’t manage timezone for individual posts. Therefore, timezone metadata of individual posts will be ignored.
• This importer DOES NOT extract “Blog timezone” from the export-file into Jekyll configuration file.
• Link references to Dotclear’s public directory (/dotclear/public/) will be altered to (/assets/dotclear/).
• All assets will be copied as-is, into the assets/dotclear directory.
• Assets will only be imported based on the media table in the export-file. Downscaled versions / thumbnails will not be generated.
• Windows-style newline sequences ("\r\n") will be converted into Unix-style line-feed ("\n") sequences.
