onenote_export VS onenote-md-exporter

A few days ago, I've read the article How to Take Notes in 2021? by sspaeti and looked into his fork of a repo by Danmou called onenote_export.

Recently I exported all my notes from Onenote to a local copy, and then ran pandoc to convert them to org mode files. I'm now browsing / editing them through org-roam. For my export, I tried various options but I ended up with https://github.com/Danmou/onenote_export.

The situation isn’t as bad as it would be for a cloud only service though. As long as you have backups, you can open the “.one” files with OneNote even if you have no access to OneDrive or sync. You can also use an external tool like the OneNote markdown exporter (https://github.com/alxnbl/onenote-md-exporter) to get a copy that at least has the basic content accessible outside of OneNote.

looks like it was this one: https://github.com/alxnbl/onenote-md-exporter

Are you on Windows? I used this to migrate to Joplin before I started using Obsidian. It's a quick way to get your notes into markdown. Did a great job for mine.

By the way, I developed a tool to export OneNote notebook into Joplin export format or markdown format. Maybe it can help you to evaluate the different alternatives : https://github.com/alxnbl/onenote-md-exporter

For OneNote users wanting to evaluate or migrate to Obsidian, you can give a try to the exporting tool that I have developed. It is available on GitHub : https://github.com/alxnbl/onenote-md-exporter . If you encounter any issue or missing feature, you can open an issue on GitHub. Hope it can help some people.

I have just published the 1.0 version which is pretty stable and complete. It is available here: https://github.com/alxnbl/onenote-md-exporter

Not answering any of your questions but If you are looking for a way to migrate your onenote notebooks into Joplin, you may be interested by this tool that I have developed : https://github.com/alxnbl/onenote-md-exporter .
