How to use
evernote2md (flags) [input] [outputDir]
input
can be a file, a directory with exported files, or a glob pattern (like exports/My*.enex
, for example).
If outputDir
is not specified, ./notes
is used.
An option --tagTemplate
allows to change the way tags are formatted.
See wiki article for more information.
Flag --help
shows all available options.
To put exported notes in folders or structure in another custom way I recommend trying mdmv - Move Markdown files tool.
With Docker
docker run -t --rm -v "$PWD":/tmp -w /tmp wormi4ok/evernote2md:latest (flags) [input] [outputDir]

How to back up (export) and restore (import) notes and notebooks
Newer versions of the Evernote App do not allow selecting more than 50 notes at a time. Consider exporting entire Notebook instead.
