Title: Use html2text instead

[html2text.py](https://github.com/aaronsw/html2text) is a Python module for converting HTML to Markdown. It's easier to install (via pip), faster, and proceeds correct results that Pandoc can't do (no `~~` for `` tags).

What's more, it doesn't need `pandoc.in`/`out` intermediate files now, since `html2text` is a Python module.

The commit 5963679cb324a4026a54102484d876940cfc3d3f is to make double new lines a `
`, since Wordpress.com, from which I obtained the exported XML, doesn't represent a paragraph with `

`, but a single blank line instead.
