WordPress Import Input Format has 'Filtered HTML' Disabled [#418798]

WordPress Import creates a new input format which is assigned to all imported nodes. This input format does not have 'Filtered HTML' enabled by default.

First, this means that any nodes imported with poorly-formed HTML will display as-is and invalidate the HTML and cause possible display problems.

Second, even if all the imported node HTML is valid, a teaser view can still split a tag in half, again invalidating the HTML and breaking the page. I observed an unclosed strong tag in a node teaser, thus applying strong to the rest of the HTML following.

The WordPress Import input format should have the Filtered HTML input format enabled by default.

I would really like to see the ability to choose an input format for the import: wordpress, filtered HTML or full HTML.

Version:

6.x-1.0

» 6.x-2.x-dev

In 2.x, I noticed it created a wordpress format, which basically means you have a legacy format that you can customize. Is that really a bug?

We don't use html filter because it strips a lot of tags by default and it could cause some content to disappear in drupal (like object tags, etc). The "HTML corrector" filter may be a better option to fix html in the teaser.
