Wordpress supports many different plugins and extensions which react to markup in their pages, and supporting that's almost an infinite task. Currently Nikola's importer handles a few of the more common. But if you try to import your blog and get less than ideal results, please `file a bug `_ and I'll do my best to fix it. Usually the fixes are rather simple, it's just that *I have never seen that specific thing* ;-) Have fun!
