wormi4ok / evernote2md Goto Github PK

I have tried evernote2md (v0.9.0) for the first time – and probably the last since all my Evernote notes are now converted to Markdown. Here's how it went down:

• first attempts to convert a single enex file containing all my notes failed (executing evernote2md on that file simply did nothing, shell window closing after a few seconds without any error);
• then it worked with an enex file containing only half of my notes, but a couple of notes were missing;
• the missing notes had either their bodies (and/or titles, I don't remember) starting with an *, an highlight or a checkbox, or had the same title but different case (e.g. one was named "untitled", the other "Untitled" → in that case only one of the two notes was converted);
• after editing these notes so they don't start with any of those elements or don't have the same title, I have successfully convert all my notes from a single enex file.

The newly converted notes, now in plain markdown, have a few formating issues:

• Evernote highlights aren't converted in a Markdown equivalent (like mentionned in #6)
• A line break have been inserted between each item of bulleted and numbered lists (there shouldn't be any line break)
• Evernote tables are converted to illegible mixes of line breaks and pipes ( | )

Appart from all that, it works 👌

Context
I'm converting a file containing 384 notes.
Would it be possible to display the title of the note being converted ? That would help to isolate the issue. I cannot share the entire file as it may contain sensitive info, but if I know which note cannot be converted I can create an export file for that one.

Hello,
I used this tool to convert a ~4000 note notebook and it did so very quickly. However the pdfs only show random text (e.g 3-4 pages of JVBERi0xLjUNCjQgMCBvYmoNCjw8L1R5cGUgL1BhZ2UvUGFyZW50IDMgMCBSL0NvbnRlbn
zIDUgMCBSL01lZGlhQm94IFswIDAgNjEyIDc5Ml0vUmVzb3VyY2VzPDwvRm9udDw8L0ZBQU) , not the pdf as it originally appeared, and the images do not open at all. The .md files seem to have exported as expected.

I re-downloaded the enex file to ensure there were no corruption issues
I tried using it from usr/local/bin and ./evernote2md after extracting the program, but got the same result.
Used default commands, as well as some flags and got the same result.
Running kubuntu 22.04

Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks for your help

Example file
ldif.zip

• It would be helpful if the conversion of other notes would, optionally, continue

It would be super useful to have a flag that would modify the saved files cdate and mdate to match the emex file's attributes.

Time modified is converted without mistakes. So time created is not correctly done.

I really want to say thanks to you!

Hello,

can you preserve the image location in the markdown document? All images are inserted at the end of the md-file.

Thanks in advance

I noticed during testing that evernote2md crashes when parsing certain enex files. This could especially be a problem if for example evernote2md is called by a web service, allowing a user to cause crashes on the backend. I've minimized the original crashing file down to this version for simplicity.

Context
It looks like tags get exported surrounded by backticks.

I included a tag in the example I reported in #27

The tag in the markdown is coming back as Sample Tag. I use some apps and markdown parsers that require one word tags, and that tags are preceded by a #. Is there anyway I could control the tag format of the exported markdown?

If I had to express it in javascript, my desired output would be:

function getTagText(tag: string): string {
  return `#${_.camelCase(tag)}`;
}

Solution
As far as how I could control or configure this via the command line, I do not have the best suggestion in mind.

Hi

I was able to successfully convert .enex file to md files with links but the md files had the links to the same few images, although I had a lot of images in my .enex file.

The program seems to import image1, image2, image3 from one note, then export images for another note and named them also image1, image2, etc. effectively overwriting the previous images. Thus, I have different md files with the same images in all of them.

Please suggest how to resolve this issue.

Regards,
Dmitry

Context
currently the image export goes to subfolder image\image.png

Solution
it would be nice to set the export folder like other tools to subfolder assets\<markdownFIlename>\<images###>.png

Problem statement

Two notes with the same name but different casing inside of the .enex results in only a single note inside of the export.

Example file
The attached enex contains 2 notes:

1. this is my great note
2. This Is My Great Note

You can see that only the contents of the second entry (with the title-cased name makes it into the export).

Archive.zip

First off, let me just say that I am amazed at how quickly and well this works! It converted all my documents in seconds.

Problem statement

That said, I did find one issue: It doesn't handle nested lists correctly.

Example file

Here is an example, a note that has some nested lists in it:
nested_list_example.zip

I would expect the lists to format like:

* this is the first level
    * this is the second level
        * this is the third level

But instead it formats like

* this is the first level

* this is the second level

* this is the third level

If I knew Go, I'd try to help with a solution myself, but I don't have any experience there.

Hi,

Could you help preserve highlights from evernote texts? Like say, a dirty span background insert, or a syntax highlight of sorts in the text to preserve the highlighted content?

A simple 2x2 Evernote table is exported as:

|a|b|
|c|d|

Which Github's markdown renders as:

|a|b|
|c|d|

I think it should be:

|a|b|
|--|--|
|c|d|

Which gives:

(Since tables are not official markdown, it may be a design decision. My view is based on Github's markdown.)

On first run I get the following error - the export fails.

Notes: 83 / 2514 [=====>__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________] 3.30%
1s2020/07/02 00:42:32 open [redacted].md: too many open files
Notes: 246 / 2514 [=================>_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________] 9.79% 7s

This is fixed by increasing your ulimit:

sdtsuis-MacBook-Air:EverNoteExport sdtsui$ ulimit -n
256
sdtsuis-MacBook-Air:EverNoteExport sdtsui$ ulimit -n 3000
sdtsuis-MacBook-Air:EverNoteExport sdtsui$ ulimit -n
3000

Not sure if this is unexpected behavior, or if you'd like to include that somewhere in README, an FAQ, etc. Thought I'd file here as others might not find this fix.

Great project! Very pleased it works - I'm especially grateful for the image support. I can basically move off EverNote for good with very little fuss. Thank you!!

Context
In my evernote, many notes have ordered list with order number followed by checkbox:

and after converted with evernote2md, ordered list remains, while checkbox missed.

I use evernote2md because I want to transfer my notes from 印象笔记 (evernote in china) to Obsidian, and I find that Obsidian support ordered list with checkbox followed, I really like this feature:

Solution
So I hope evernote2md can support keep checkbox when it followed with ordered list. I know that ordered list with checkbox is not normal markdown syntax, and maybe not be supported by most markdown editor, so I think maybe this feature can be addea as a command option.

Problem statement

a tag with empty text got also converted, making extra links:

After exporting images to markdown, the order of images is confused

Hi,
Thanks for making this. I was just trying it out for a note and on executing it, it simply said "Permission Denied".

This is the command I wrote -

/Users/abhimanyu/Desktop/evernote2md_0.3.0_MacOS_64-bit/evernote2md /Users/abhimanyu/Desktop/My\ Notes.enex /Users/abhimanyu/Desktop/My\ Notes 


-bash: /Users/abhimanyu/Desktop/evernote2md_0.3.0_MacOS_64-bit/evernote2md: Permission denied

How do I fix this?
Thanks.

Example file: here's the small single file .enex that the script fails at input byte 512. (To add it here I've had to rename it to .zip: just change back to .enex.
Fritfetti - Say Yes to Sprinkles!.zip

Running v0.11.0 on latest release of macOS Catalina.

I have a number of notes with some sort of paragraph structure:

This is a line.
This is another line in the same paragraph.

This is a new paragraph.
This paragraph has a second line too.

which appear in my .enex exports mostly like this:

<div>This is a line.</div>
<div>This is another line in the same paragraph.</div>
<div><br/></div>
<div>This is a new paragraph.</div>
<div>This paragraph has a second line too.</div>

and are then exported to Markdown with each line in a separate paragraph:

This is a line.

This is another line in the same paragraph.

This is a new paragraph.

This paragraph has a second line too.

To make things more difficult, occasionally one of the <div>s is missing:

<div>This is a line.</div>
This is another line in the same paragraph.
<div><br/></div>
<div>This is a new paragraph.</div>
<div>This paragraph has a second line too.</div>

which then exports like this:

This is a line.
This is another line in the same paragraph.

This is a new paragraph.

This paragraph has a second line too.

I have worked around it for now by commenting out the extra newline for divs in godown.go (line 362 (here)[https://github.com/wormi4ok/godown/blob/1bea1c1b0bac9b8a8980f3b23c980f785d4a1410/godown.go]) and manually re-splitting the lines on those few notes where the lines were combined because of missing <div>s.

However, there must be a better solution - perhaps evernote2md ought to strip the <div> tags before calling godown, or perhaps godown should leave newlines before and after <div>s but remove overlapping line breaks immediately between them (like MS Word does with paragraph spacing), or something else...?

Latest evernote2md, Evernote 10.19.2-mac-mas-public (458754) on macOS 10.15.7 19H1323. Notes in question were created in 2014, so perhaps it's due to an older Evernote version.

here is demo

Thanks for this tool! I don't know if Evernote changed the .enex export formatting or what, but running the command on a normal note results in some weird Unicode characters that show up as strange characters in markdown.
For instance:

1. My note ends up with a bunch of   <0xa0> characters in the resulting markdown (this is apparently a non-breaking space. Markdown readers show that as a   or something else.
2. Several other characters come into the markdown file as escaped and look like this in the markdown:
   \( or \)
\-
\!

@wormi4ok, is there any chance I could get your help with this? I guess I could create my own post-processor, but I would really prefer not to do that. Seems like this may be an easy change for you. I don't know Go so I can't do it myself.

Problem statement

Cannot execute file. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Problem statement

Exported all my Evernote notes into a file AllEvernotes.enex. I've added the release binary to the /usr/local/bin fodler and it is available on the $PATH.

Using the terminal I change into the Documents folder where the .enex file is stored and use the following command: evernote2md ./AllEvernotes.enex

When hit enter I get the following error fairly quickly (5.22s user 0.18s system 100% cpu 5.359 total):
2020/11/14 14:52:59 XML syntax error on line 404: unexpected EOF in CDATA section

Is this a known issue? I've had the same error on Ubuntu and now Manjaro.

Problem statement

Multiple lines in a table cell are translated into markdown text lines instead of one line with <br> tags in between.

Example file
sample.zip

The uploaded zip includes an enex file which exemplifies this problem. The rendering in Evernote looks like

But the translated markdown table has something like

Hi Stanislav, i found that To-do lists can't be conveted properly.

below is to-do lists in my evernote notes.

Here is the convted result in markdown files.

Solution
The proper result maybe be this pic.

Problem statement. Apple's increasingly security makes it hard to run apps that aren't notarised from a verified developer. This is affecting this utility. It only seems to run for me from the downloads directory. When I move it to ~/bin or ~/Documents I get a warning message about it not being able to be verified, and then the process is killed.

Hello!

Thanks for the tool! I'm using version 0.18.0, and I noticed that inline code within a list is not exported correctly.

Example Note:

This is a test to see if inline code will be correctly exported.

• Checking if code in a list works.

What about entire code blocks?

After conversion:

This is a test to see if inline code will be correctly exported.

• Checking if <--- Incorrectly truncated

What about entire code blocks?                                                  

Any suggestions or workarounds?

Here's is an .enex file with some code blocks which on parsing with evernote2md do not contain the code blocks.

The source code includes a polite recognition that replacement of spaces with underscores is simply a personal preference. In my case, I've modified the source code to not replace spaces, and also to not add the replacement underscores in general. Others still likely have their own preferences or requirements.

Feature request: allow providing a format string for filenames at the command-line. This could also allow specifying custom fields (like the creation/modified date, author, or other note attributes) and custom replacements.

Here's one possible format:

Example 1 (current behaviour):
evernote2md --filenameFormat '%title/ /_/%dmacos/_/'

• filename is the title
• first replacement replaces spaces with underscores
• second replacement replaces disallowed macOS filename characters with underscores
• evernote2md additionally removes any remaining characters disallowed by the current OS, and ensures filenames are unique and non-empty by adding numbers 1, 2, ... as necessary.

Example 2 (my modified behaviour):
evernote2md --filenameFormat '%cdateiso %title/%dany//40'

• filename is the creation date in ISO format (YYYY-MM-DD) followed by a space, then the title
• first replacement removes characters disallowed on any platform, with no replacement character
• filenames are truncated at 40 characters
• evernote2md additionally removes any remaining characters disallowed by the current OS, and ensures filenames are unique and non-empty by adding numbers 1, 2, ... as necessary.

The logic for processing such a format string would amount to:

1. splitting the format string into substrings on the / character (which is illegal on all platforms)
2. performing the field replacements from the note metadata on each of the substrings
3. set the filename to the first substring
4. for each remaining pair of substrings, perform a regex replacement (s/<fromstring>/<tostring>/g)
5. if there is a substring remaining, trim the filename to that number of characters
6. prefix the destination directory and add .md to the end

This could provide a solution for Issue #57 as well - assuming regexes, %dlinux could be replaced with [/], %dmacos with [:/], %dwin with [\\/:*?"<>|]|([ .]+$) or something similarly convoluted, and %dany a combination of the three, to manually remove characters that would otherwise be permitted on the current platform (although, don't quote me on those exact regexes).

Finally, a stretch goal might be to provide a similar format string for images/media: --resourceFilenameFormat 'image/%resid' for current behaviour or 'assets/%notefilename/image%resindex' to match the requested format in Issue #53. Won't be able to use the forward slash for both directory and replacements though.

Cheers.

Context
is it possible to add custom header for all output markdown files.in this case we can export all evernotes to
markdown files which can be hosted on the hugo and other static blog platform.

Solution
what the feat we wannt is something like below:

• buildin info canbe embed tag title author createTime
• additional dynamic or fixed props

I want to export multiple folders as separate enex files from Evernote. I have a script that allows this. This leaves me with 50+ enex files.

Would it be possible to batch convert enex files, for instance by specifying a folder instead of an enex file?

The current list of disallowed filename characters is OS-dependent. However a common situation nowadays is sharing a folder of Markdown notes between multiple OSes using a cloud storage provider. Some CSPs handle disallowed file characters better than others.

Suggestion: use a single list of disallowed filename characters that meets the requirements of all common OSes (Mac, Linux, Windows), or provide a command-line option for this (e.g. --filenamecompat [auto|win|unix|all]).

I'm able to convert notes but on one particular note the conversion crashes.

Hi, thank you for very useful and simple to use program!

I had an issues with converting and it probably related to unsafe image paths in dump

Context
I just found this repo and it looks really useful. I'm curious about the feasibility of preserving the whitespace features of evernote files.

I made heavy use of indents and consecutive line breaks in evernote. Would it be possible to preserve the whitespace features of the CDATA? It shouldn't cause any problems for vanilla markdown editors but would allow editors like Typora to use the information.

E.g. when evernote2md processes this CDATA code:

<div>line 1</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>line 5</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>level 1</div>
<div style="padding-left:40px;">level 2</div>
<div style="padding-left:80px;">level 3</div>
<div style="padding-left:40px;">level 2</div>

it currently generates this markdown:

line 1

line 5

level 1

level 2

level 3

level 2

whereas it would be fantastic if it generated this instead:

line 1



line 5


level 1
	level 2
		level 3
	level 2

Does this seem like a possible enhancement?
