It's been quite some time since my last post. Mainly that's because I've been looking at Drupal 8 and how to implement DITA integration with Drupal 8.
Unfortunately, the Import HTML module I've used for importing will not be ported to Drupal 8 any time soon. And the Feeds module, another likely candidate for importing XML, is in a similar state.
But I've just stumbled across the following blog post by Campbell Vertesi about using Migrate which looks quite promissing: "Stop Waiting for Feeds Module: How to Import RSS in Drupal 8"
So stay tuned.
