Use cat_name instead of category_nicename for categories

[natrius]

It seems your tool is using the nicename but according to WP description its just for the URL "The “title form” is the readable URL version of the name. It normally consists only of lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens."

I tried to look at wordpress-export-to-markdown\src\frontmatter\categories.js but i'm not sure what i have to change there unfortuantely. I think the same applies to tags.

Heres part of the export.xml (exported today, but WP Version 6.6.2 - we are not able to update due to various reasons, thats why we are switching to hugo currently) to illustrate what i mean

<wp:category>
		<wp:term_id>6</wp:term_id>
		<wp:category_nicename><![CDATA[technikundtools]]></wp:category_nicename>
		<wp:category_parent><![CDATA[]]></wp:category_parent>
		<wp:cat_name><![CDATA[Technik &amp; Tools]]></wp:cat_name>
	</wp:category>

(Or is this on purpose and i missed it?)

Whopps, i missed that i gets the Data from the posts and not from the general area of course...
<category domain="category" nicename="communitytreffen"><![CDATA[Community-Treffen]]></category> Currently it gets the name from there. I think it would make sense to use the content of CDATA here and not nicename.
Or as a setting maybe?

This was on purpose when I originally added categories/tags support, as I found it more useful to have ID-like tag strings instead of human readable tags, for code purposes.

But yeah what you're saying makes sense, I could see people wanting that. Good candidate for a setting.

I used .map(category => category._.trim()); // Nutze den Inhalt innerhalb von CDATA instead of
.map(({ $: attributes }) => decodeURIComponent(attributes.nicename)); for categories and

.map(tag => tag._.trim()); // Nutze den Inhalt innerhalb von CDATA instead of .map(({ $: attributes }) => decodeURIComponent(attributes.nicename)); for tags.

Worked right now for me to use it in Hugo. The only thing - in the wordpress export i used a & in one category-title and it got mapped to &. I mean, not a problem, i just used a search&replace in visual studio quickly.
