importer

Import from Text, HTML and EverNote export for NextCloud as MarkDown files

Description

The Importer app is a NextCloud manual tool. It is meant to be used with the 'occ' command.

With this importer, you may import as MarkDown files:

• MarkDown files (.md)
• Text files (.txt)
• HTML files (.html)
• EverNote export result (.enex)

Import from HTML

The conversion is base on https://github.com/thephpleague/html-to-markdown.

Import from EverNote

In EverNote, you may select multiple notes, or directly export an entire notebook. It generates a .enex file, with all the text and the attachments embeded. (Take care of the maximum size).

Notes

Importer will convert each note from an enex file as a markdown file in NextCloud. (EverNote notes are in HTML).

Attachments

The attachments from a note will be located in a .attachment folder, near the md file. Remember you may change NextCloud option (see Hidden Files) to see them, and keep in mind these attachments are removed if you remove the parent markdown file.

Notices:

• with -v option, you'll have a description of each created note and its attachments
• with -N option, same, but files are note created
• with -D option, folders are created if necessary
• when a note already exists, a "(XX)" is appended to make it unique

• Import keep the Note "last modification time", so your imported notes will be timed at the original time (update time)
