OneWayOut (owo) can export all your OneNote notes to Emacs Org Mode or any Pandoc-supported Markdown (today), and allows you to tailor the results to your best liking by:

2. Allowing you to post-process the Pandoc output with tailored Markup Packs.

You can see a test OneNote note and its Emacs Org Mode and Pandoc Markdown exports here https://github.com/alopezrivera/owo#results

Markup Packs are markup-format-specific functions containing search and replace queries executed at runtime against the text output by Pandoc. If search and replace doesn't cut it, you can add a postprocessing scriptblock to increase your freedom.

I believe this was the repo I installed and ran. It can be slow depending upon how much OneNote content you have, and it isn’t perfectly clean MD (it generated HTML if it can’t convert it to MD) but most of my notes came through fine: https://github.com/theohbrothers/ConvertOneNote2MarkDown

I've been wanting to make the jump from OneNote to Obsidian a few times in the last year. Did make some tryouts three times, each time converting all my OneNote notes to Markdown using this script. But each time I abandonned after a week or two 'cause I had too much of a work to do to get my notes organised, readable etc.

I’ve used this before — https://github.com/theohbrothers/ConvertOneNote2MarkDown

https://github.com/theohbrothers/ConvertOneNote2MarkDown this tool, using VS code, and quite alot of manual labor, but my autistic self hyper fixated on it so it wasn't a issue

https://github.com/theohbrothers/ConvertOneNote2Markdown refs. to https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#options which offers a wide range of output options alongside .md, .org and .rst (reStructuredText) f.ex. so that's also useful for some of us

- Other markup elements such as horizontal lines, custom indentations and formatting, and whatever else you might be able to conjure up with the text in your notes

Got a lot to learn so all feedback or suggestions are welcome! Thanks for checking it out :)

I've used the 2 window method and dragged and dropped in the past. It's ok for doing relatively small numbers of notes, but still clumsy. With the hundreds of notes I'm looking to sort and organize, looking for something that will speed this up. Currently looking atporting out to markdown, organizing with file organization tools in Windows, and then maybe porting back in.
