Migrating from livejournal to hexo

Migrating from posed some problems.

I want to note that I did not transfer the comments.

seemed to me the most suitable. It translates immediately to markdown. However, tags are not imported. It uses browser session parameters for identification.

As the second option I considered . It downloads the weblog in html. For identification uses login and password.

Then I had to convert to markdown. To do this, I wrote the script xml2md.

#!/usr/bin/python3
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

import os
import sys
from lxml import etree
import html2text
from datetime import datetime
from transliterate import translit, get_available_language_codes

outdir = 'markdown'
os.makedirs(outdir, exist_ok=True)

infile = sys.argv[1]
print(infile)

tree = etree.parse(infile)
post = tree.getroot()

postTitle = ''
postTags = ''

for elem in post.getchildren():
 if not elem.text:
 text = "None"
 else:
 text = elem.text
 # print(elem.tag + " => " + text)
 # book_dict[elem.tag] = text
 if elem.tag == 'subject':
 postTitle = text
 if elem.tag == 'eventtime':
 postDate = text
 if elem.tag == 'event':
 postContent = text
 if elem.tag == 'props':
 for propsElem in elem.getchildren():
 if not elem.text:
 text = "None"
 else:
 text = propsElem.text
 # print(propsElem.tag + " => " + text)
 if propsElem.tag == 'taglist':
 postTags = text




postHeader = 'layout: post\n'+'title: '+postTitle+'\n'+'date: '+str(postDate)
postHeader = postHeader+'\ncategories: blog\nlang: ru'
postHeader = postHeader+'\ntags: ['+postTags+']'
postHeader = postHeader+'\n'+'---'

h = html2text.HTML2Text()
h.ignore_links = False
h.body_width = 0
h.unicode_snob = True
postContent = h.handle(postContent)

fullPost = postHeader+'\n\n\n'+postContent

date = datetime.strptime(postDate, '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
outFile = '{0.year}-{0.month:02d}-{0.day:02d}'.format(date)
if postTitle != '':
 translitTitle = translit(postTitle, 'ru', reversed=True)
 translitTitle = translitTitle.replace(" ","_")
 translitTitle = translitTitle.replace(":","")
 translitTitle = translitTitle.replace("'","")
 translitTitle = translitTitle.replace("«","")
 translitTitle = translitTitle.replace("»","")
 translitTitle = translitTitle.replace(";","")
else:
 translitTitle = '{0.hour:02d}-{0.minute:02d}-{0.second:02d}'.format(date)
outFile = outFile+'-'+translitTitle

f = open(outdir+'/'+str(outFile)+'.md', 'w')
f.write(fullPost)
f.close()

Conversion can be performed using the command:

./xml2md <file>

This creates the markdown directory and the conversion result is placed in it.
