Evernote is a very flexible and nice application for note-taking. I especially like the fact that it’s working so well on multiple platforms. I’m using it on Android, ipadOS, macOS and on the web, and all without syncing problems.

Testing one if the tools

I just took one among all (ok, I like that it’s installable with Homebrew)

https://github.com/wormi4ok/evernote2md

brew install evernote2md

and then run like this

evernote2md (flags) [input] [outputDir]

Simple note

Exported one note from Evernote to an empty folder and then ran the following

evernote2md ./*.enex

The resulting Markdown file looked pretty good - it was a quite simple one though

If you plan to install Domino V11 on CentOS 8.1 you have to do some steps before because there are some requirements:

Install CentOS 8.1.x ( without any graphical interface – you won´t need it )

* Install perl
    * To run the Domino console installation you need perl to run it
    * **yum install perl**

A more complex note

I created a test note with an image and table and it turned out fairly good! See below.

Some small adjustments was needed to make it display properly in Hugo;

  • Add header divider in table, it wasn’t recognized as a proper table.
  • Move image to static folder in the Hugo site and link to /image.png directly
