Handling HTML Markup with Drupal's Migrate API
summary
Migrations switch from brittle regex to a DOM-based pipeline: PHP DOMDocument + XPath parses HTML reliably, and Migrate Plus now includes a Dom process plugin to import/export DOM objects, a dom_string_replace for attribute-level replacements, dom_apply_styles to map external formatting into CKEditor styles, and a migration lookup plugin that rewrites in-text links to new entity IDs. These plugins come from an Isovera/Pega project, appear in current Migrate Plus releases, and are used in live demos.
