Import from .enex format loses formatting

Open shenkin opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

  • OS Version: MacOS 11.2.1
  • Notable Version: 1.8.4

Current behavior

Attached in evernote notable xfer.zip is my exported Evernote file, "If I Ever Need A Lady (I'll call you).enex"

Import it into Notable using Option:Evernote The note is imported, but the format is incorrect. (See screen shot below.) Specifically:

  • Line spacing is uniform throughout, rather than separated into "paragraphs)
  • Toward the top of the document
    • Hash marks are added which are not in the original
    • A monospace font is used in the original, but not in the imported note
    • The monospace font is in a larger font size in the original note but the same size in the imported note.

Expected behavior

The note is imported with at least a good approximation to the existing format.

Comments

  • I wanted to try importing the same note exported to HTML, but Evernote no longer supports HTML export, apparently.
  • I noticed that in the .enex file, blank lines are inserted using <div><br /></div>.

Hi, Fabio,

I installed a legacy version of Evernote which can still do html export. (Actually, the legacy version is better than the current version in every way!)

The resulting html files display properly in a browser (except that the title line is not written!), but, after import into notable, the same problem that I showed you earlier occurs.

Files formatted differently in Evernote from that simple file show different problems, but again, other than omission of title, even a simple Evernote note, exported to HTML, fails to be reasonably rendered when imported as HTML into Notable.
