SPIP Database to Markdown

Python scripts to export the SPIP MySQL database of the current website to plain text Markdown files with YAML front-matter metadata.

Notes on exporting the SPIP MySQL data to Markdown files

There are 40 tables, of which:

  • 8 contain the major part of the data
  • 4 are relations between other tables
  • 5 contain as few data as global parameters
  • 13 seems to be technical information specific to SPIP
  • 10 are completely empty

  • spip_meta
  • spip_mots
  • spip_rubriques
  • spip_syndic_articles

These tables join information between main tables. They will probably correspond to entries in YAML front-matters.

  • spip_auteurs_liens
  • spip_documents_liens
  • spip_mots_liens
  • spip_zones_liens

  • spip_groupes_mots
