 * Hello there…
    i have imported ok some content of html files like this…
 * i use the <div class=”entry-content-tomano”> and works ok…
 * but…. i only have the option to put the date as today.. or as the last time it
   was modified locally…
    well how can i use the date with some html inside the 
   code?
 * as you can see.. in this html there is a date… as this html came from a wordpress
   html backup…
 * regards and congrats on the plugin..

 * Is there any documentation on this feature? I see that there is a section under
   HTML Import Settings > Title & Metadata > Set timestamps to and we have the option
   of using a custom field.
 * Update: Once custom field is selected and saved, there is a Select date by option
   under the Custom Fileds tab. When using the HTML tag option, must the HTML element
   contain only the date, or can it include other text and the date will be stripped
   out?
 * In other works, does the date have to be in a unique html element with an ID 
   and contain only the date?
