The whole reason why this converter was written.

After each post is imported from Wordpress, comments, categories (post/category links) and permalinks are imported. The cycle continues until all posts imported.

If the user elected not to import permalinks then permalinks will be ignored.

If permalinks are to be imported, only non-draft posts will have permalinks.

If, for some unknown reason, there is a duplicate permalink, only the first will be imported. The duplicates will be ignored. At this point the user is not notified of this.

Teasers

Prior to version 5-05 the teaser was set at the first 600 characters of the body of the post. It became apparent that in some cases the teaser was, in a sense, left hanging, in that there were no closing HTML tags. This creates havoc for the main page.

What now occurs is this process. If there is any entry in a Wordpress 'post_excerpt' field then the contents of this field are added to the teaser field. Wordpress, at this point, has already stripped out any HTML. If there is no entry in the excerpt field then the entire body of the post is added to the teaser field. In effect, as if the option setting for teasers had been set to 'unlimited'. At least with this approach there will be no issues of any unclosed HTML tags.
