Nikola Metadata Upgrade (v7 to v8)

This plugin fulfills two purposes:

1. It upgrades old-style tags metadata (draft, private, mathjax) to new-style metadata, i.e. using the status and has_math metadata fields. The tags were used in Nikola v7 and earlier, and are no longer used by default in Nikola v8. If you are using them in your blog, you will be warned by nikola build — otherwise, don’t install this plugin (it won’t do a thing anyway and will only waste disk space and load time).

2. It converts sections to categories. If both section and category are specified in a post, a warning is printed and the category kept.

The plugin adds the nikola upgrade_metadata_v8 command. Remove the plugin manually after the upgrade.
