Not better or worse than each other, just different. There just isn’t a clean way to transfer over the structure, form, fit, function, and approach. After spending most of the day yesterday toying with different approaches and ideas, I remain frustrated, unfortunately. I want to say thank you for all of your time, ideas, and suggestions. Inventory - manuals, receipts, service records, home projects.įinancial (has an unprotected Inbox section for quick addition of notes, and encrypted sections for Banks, Cards etc.)įamily records - scans of important documents of historic and sentimental value Pile - a pile of miscellaneous records, this is also where I keep my Quick Notes section (“inbox”) Here‘s how my personal data is organized in notebooks: Think of Evernote as a giant pile of loose records connected by tags, and OneNote as a giant outline where every record has a specific place. This makes it less unwieldy, helps to speed up the initial sync and minimize sync issues (whatever issues you may encounter will be localized), gives you better control over what data you want synced to what device.īasically, if EN is built around tags, ON is built around organizational structure. It has global search across all notebooks (CTRL+E), so it makes more sense to break notes into notebooks organized by logical categories. You can of course move sections then delete notebooks, but I’d suggest saving them as an offline backup.Īlso, keeping all of your notes in one giant notebook, while possible, is probably not the most efficient use of ON. Assuming you‘re using 2016 desktop version: Select sections in one notebook, copy them to your “master” notebook, wait for it to sync, close the first notebook. Version 2 would support getting the data out of OneNote as well but that is a long ways off with other things to do in between, but if anybody wants to collaborate on writing YANOM they can take a look at git hub.Īnybody reading this far might want to look at the YANOM project wiki page for a non-geek explanation of note conversions and how closed file systems like OneNote are so horrible compared to obsidian and why the YANOM project exists.Maybe there is a way to then merge OneNote Notebooks? If you find there are large parts not converted you may find another program somewhere, but I’ll add the HTML to md option to my current project for version 1 (link to project board) (which could be 3 or more weeks away it’s 90% done but not documented yet, and adding in the HTML will take a couple of days.Īnybody who finds some HTML that has come from OneNote that is not converted can share it with me and I’ll look at it to see if I can look into ways of cleaning/fixing it for version 2… This is where most programs making conversions struggle as you have to fix each issue before conversion, or manually convert it to markdown and add it back in after conversion (like I have to do with checklists). Most of the work in the Synology HTML data is cleaning the HTML and recreating HTML without things Pandoc can not understand. Any HTML that uses odd Microsoft formatting or class names may not appear either. Please note that Pandoc has some limitations for example it does not convert checklists they will appear just as plain text. The original HTML files will still be there but there will be a new. If you have many folders with HTML notes in just put the html-md.sh file one folder lower and it will convert all those folders. NOTE this should work recursively so any subfolders of the folder it is in should also get converted. Then unzip the attached bash file and put it in the folder with your HTML files.Īt the command line change to the folder with the bash file in it and type This solution is just a first quick approach that worked on a couple of test HTML files I pulled from my Synology project. I’ve never thought of doing a conversion like this, so thanks for the question. The core of the HTML to markdown conversion in most programs is Pandoc. I’ve been offline for a while so you may have found a way to convert your HTML files. Sorry, it’s been 30 days since your post.
