Migration

We managed to migrate from flarum.amybo.org to discourse forum.amybo.org but the forum is now riddled with formatting issues. For example:

@"Gerrit"#p174 I like the idea of a water based liquid (just like Rabaey's) so I checked out the [Nutrisorb Trace Minerals](https://www.biocare.co.uk/nutrisorbr-liquid-trace-minerals-15ml) ingredients:
1. Purified Water,
2. Sodium Borate,
3. Preservative (Citric Acid),

Becomes:

<r> <POSTMENTION discussionid="25" displayname="Gerrit" id="174" number="8">@"Gerrit"#p174</POSTMENTION> I like the idea of a water based liquid (just like Rabaey's) so I checked out the <URL url="https://www.biocare.co.uk/nutrisorbr-liquid-trace-minerals-15ml">[Nutrisorb Trace Minerals<e>](https://www.biocare.co.uk/nutrisorbr-liquid-trace-minerals-15ml)</e></URL> ingredients:
1. Purified Water,
2. Sodium Borate,
3. Preservative (Citric Acid),

Is there a recommended way to fix these?

It would be amazing if it could be automated across the whole forum (without showing each post as edited), but, if not, then a semi-automated fix that we could apply post by post would be better than needing to manually remove each HTML tag to revert to markdown.
