[Feature]: Export all the kanban board notes content to one file

[marekbrze]

Goal or desired outcome of this feature

Kanban boards are great for planning books. You can plan whole structure of the book using lists (parts of the book or chapters) and indivuidual notes (chapters or sections of the text).

It woul be great to be able to export all the content from the referenced notes from the kanban board to a single file (one big markdown file or preferably .epub) to have the final text.

Describe the feature

• One "export as" button on the kanban board
• All the notes merged into one big file based on the sequence on the kanban

Can you think of any alternatives or work-arounds?

I'm a little confused, isn't it already a markdown file?

[marekbrze]

@AB1908 contents of all the notes referenced in the kanban should be merged.

So from the example above i would like to have a one long markdown/pdf/epub file with:

• Intro
  • Preface content
  • Introduction content
• Chapter 1
  • Section 1 content
  • Section 2 content
  • Section 3 content
• Chapter 2
  • Section 2 1 content
  • Section 2 2 content

Hmm you can do this with some dataview, FWIW.

Yup, but drag'n'drop on kanban would make things much easier. It's superb for planning and outlining things

I just happened to drop by here through Google while looking to export the Kanban board as-is as a PDF (meaning I was after the whole Kanban view to be able to export as a PDF so that I could take a print out and stick on the wall).

But just noticed the discussion here is an already existing feature? See if below screenshot helps?

Once you have the markdown, again use the same menu to go to the source view, if you need the raw text file.

Now, to come back to the Kanban board, I couldn't find a smarter way than just closing and re-opening the Kanban board.

As a side note, the source/markdown view is great to add bulk data or update them. All changes (given you do them to the correct syntax of course, but its not hard, as you may agree, given the simplicity of the Markdown syntax) comes up nice on the Kanban board back again once you re-open. Make it a point to close and re-open the board.
