Since you can embed Markdown in HTML, you might find that you don’t need to convert the posts.
It’s very possible that I’m confused here, or missing a cool technical trick. (And also maybe we should have separate Markdown and html editors, instead of forcing everyone to use one, which would also make it trivial to import all the old posts while still moving future posts mostly to Markdown.)
Is this something you need more people to help with?
More people would be appreciated! Email me for details.
It sounds like the original Markdown has some extra restrictions how you close the outermost HTML tag, but I suspect most parsers ignore that part of the “spec”.
