grunt-wp2md

Convert WordPress XML to static Markdown files.

Getting Started

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-wp2md --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-wp2md');

The "wp2md" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named wp2md to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  wp2md: {
    options: {
      // Task-specific options go here.
    },
    your_target: {
      // Target-specific file lists and/or options go here.
    },
  },
})

    default_options: {
      files: {
        'path/to/': ['/path/to/wordpress.xml'],
      },
    },
  }
});

grunt.initConfig({
  wp2md: {
    custom_options: {
      options: {
        format: '',
        posts: 'src/_posts',
        drafts: 'src/_drafts',
        pages: 'src/pages'
      },
