Migrate from other CMS to Statamic

[richardhj]

Hello!

I am wondering if there is an easy way to migrate from other CMSes or arbitrary sources to Statamic and Bard.

In particular, I am asking if there is an optimal way to programmatically create Bard content like:

content:
  -
    type: paragraph
    content:
      -
        type: text
        text: 'Lorem ipsum'
---

If so, I could easily write a migration script for my app.

Thanks!

If you put html in the markdown file, Bard should know how to handle it. (As long as there's no overcomplicated html in there)

content: '<p>Lorem ipsum</p>`

You will need to make sure that you've enabled the buttons for the HTML elements you plan to use.

For example, if your html has <b> tags in it, the bold button will need to be enabled in order for it to render.
