yarle VS zotero-mdnotes

FWIW, I exported all my Evernote notebooks just recently from my old free account. Used https://github.com/akosbalasko/yarle to convert them to Markdown. It also has support for various PKB formats, like Obsidian. Hope that helps!

I then used a 3rd-party tool called YARLE (Yet Another Rope Ladder from Evernote) to convert each .ENEX file into a folder of .md files and a folder of linked attachments.

https://github.com/akosbalasko/yarle to convert to Obsidian MD.

Using https://github.com/akosbalasko/yarle you will dump all your evernote notes in md format in a directory. You will open the directory as a vault.

Here's how to do it:

1. Download the legacy Evernote v.6.25.3.x. Evernote has removed it from their website but you can get it at FileHippo. Download this now - I downloaded 6.25.3.9348 and used it, but now it's gone from FileHippo... not sure why. https://filehippo.com/download_evernote/6.25.1.9091/

2. Follow the undocumented trick for downloading all notebooks at once. This will preserve tags as well. Archived here: https://archive.ph/XDnqN - scroll down to KoZz's comment posted on "Tuesday at 11:53 AM".

3. Then if you want to move to Obsidian, use YARLE but note the template that automatically loads doesn't work (it has spaces and breaks other rules). https://github.com/akosbalasko/yarle

4. Template block definitions here: https://github.com/akosbalasko/yarle/blob/master/Templates.m... FWIW, I used this as my template (paste in the "Set Template" window for YARLE):

    {content-block}{content}{end-content-block}

There's a tool called Yarle, aka "Yet another rope ladder from Evernote" that helps you migrate your data to Markdown:

I was never a big Evernote user, but I did use Yarle to migrate some old Evernote data to Obsidian.

That's why I developed Yarle, The ultimate converter for Evernote to Markdown. It is platform-independent, it has UI, no installation requited, supports conversion to standard markdown, or special cases like Obsidian, Logseq or Tana. You could give it a try by downloading it here: https://github.com/akosbalasko/yarle

Download and use a tool like Yarle.

Hm, have you ever considered using Mdnotes and if so, would you be able to compare your workflow with the one it leads to?

I then extract these highlights and annotations using the Zotfile plug-in, and import them into my literature notes folder in Obsidian. I really liked the Mdnotes plugin for this, but it recently stopped working for me so I re-created the template, which I have to populate manually, and which is structured into three sections: metadata, summary, and key ideas.

If it's of interest I just found this zotero plugin, Zotero mdnotes, and the joplin plugin Hotfolder, work quite well together.

I recently installed the ZotFile and MdNotes plugins to Zotero as described here. The ability to export highlights and other annotations to a .md file is really useful, and makes me think that there must be a CLI out there which does something similar. I ask because ideally I would like to avoid having to go into Zotero, click on the pdf, extract annotations, then export to a .md file, selecting the project folder each time that I want to scrap export my annotations from a pdf. Rather, I'd like to integrate this process into Vim so that when there is some citation I have, I can use the Vimtex context feature to point the pdf-annotations-to-markdown-CLI that I hope exists at whatever pdf is included for that citation. My question is: does anyone know of such a piece of software which does something like this? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!
