Blog Import doesn't translate HTML to BBCode


Recommended Posts

If you enter an RSS feed for an off-site blog against an RMWeb blog, it will import the last ten entries from the offsite blog into RMWeb, including the images. So far, so good.

 

It doesn't make it clear that RSS feeds aren't just a one-time import, but also have the effect of syndicating the blog across both sites, i.e. if you post something new to the offsite blog it will also import that new entry into RMWeb. That's not a problem, except it doesn't make this clear when you set the RSS feed up.

 

The bug is that those subsequent new entries are not formatted correctly. The initial import converts the HTML of the RSS feed into BBCode, so it's formatted correctly (after a fashion) in RMWeb. But the subsequent new entries retain the raw HTML, which looks like the proverbial dog's breakfast.
