 There are certain tricks done with the content.
 Please be aware of this.
 
-Content will be exported to wp-content/flat/{post_slug}/ folder ( one folder per post), all attachments copied (or hardlinked, if possible with the filesystem; this is automatic ).
-
-The content will be placed into in item.md file. This is a markdown file, with some plain test headers.
-Comments are exported into the same folder, named comment-{comment_id}.md; the format is similar for those as well.
-
 **This is not a backup!**
 The goal of the plugin is to have a portable, plain text, easy to read, easy to copy version of you content on WordPress. Since not all data is exported, your site cannot be reconstructed from these exports.
