Description

WordPress exports post content mostly as is from database. It runs through the_content_export filter, which does not by default have any of the typical the_content filters added.

The most visible impact is that wpautop() is not applied and paragraphs have no <p> tags around them.

Effectively this makes exported content corrupted for systems other than WordPress itself.

In spirit of "own your data" I suggest this is reconsidered, in favor of exporting valid platform-agnostic HTML markup.

From a quick look on implementation levels it seems just adding wpautop() might not be sufficient due to a special blocks-related logic in WP 5+ ? Or can that be ignored for export purposes?
