Export all content from Wordpress but evaluate shortcodes before exporting.

Wordpress Export Notes
I'm using this to get away from Enfold and Devi which marks everything up with hundreds of shortcodes. This will output ugly html, but at least it's html.
In wp-admin/includes/export.php change this line:
$content = wxr_cdata( apply_filters( 'the_content_export', $post->post_content ) );
To:
$content = wxr_cdata( apply_filters( 'the_content_export', do_shortcode( $post->post_content ) ) );
After exporting your data, you should change it back. Modifying WordPress core files is not best practice.
I then run this gist that helps clean up the gross html output:
