5460	WXR importer doesn't like XML files with </item><item>	JeremyVisser	westi	"I'm trying to import a WXR file that contains the following:

{{{
</item><item>
}}}

...in between different blog entries. However, !WordPress keels over, and doesn't import the file properly.

Getting a text editor and manually find-and-replace'ing all occurrences of {{{</item><item>}}} with:

{{{
</item>
<item>
}}}

...works.

The main problem is that !WordPress doesn't actually use an XML parser to import stuff. However, I set the ticket severity to ""minor"", as !WordPress itself doesn't generate WXR files that contain {{{</item><item>}}} — it's only when using a particular third-party generator that this happens. However, it's !WordPress' fault that it's failing, as there should really be no difference between the above two examples."	defect (bug)	closed	low	3.1	Import	2.8.4	normal	fixed	needs-patch	benz001
