On Linux, what's the best way to convert a onenote.zip notebook to markdown or html?
-
I mainly use trillium and want to import my notes. Unsure how to do it without windows. Even with windows the instructions seem unclear

I did s bit of poking around. It looks like there's a tool on GitHub for this exact purpose, or you can just save to a .docx from OneNote then use pandoc to convert to markdown

Maybe https://duck.ai/? Worth a try.

This lead to https://github.com/theohbrothers/ConvertOneNote2MarkDown
However, this has some restrictive OS requirements so it may not be applicable.

You can convert using Evernote as an intermediary:
https://github.com/zadam/trilium/wiki/OnenoteYou'd need to hunt down a copy but there are mirrors since Evernote ended legacy version, and it'd need to be set up in wine to run in linux but it should do the job.

Thanks! I tried that method with a VM and it got stuck trying to connect to internet even though it had access. Weird…

Obsidian saves in markdown format, and can import your OneNote in one shot.

Obsidian isn't open source, but it's so solid I almost don't care...

The best way i found was obsidians import which was what i was trying to avoid. I was making standalone markdown files and after the import i needed to do some cleaning since obsidian or onenote did OCR on the images to create alt text but quotes in the alt text broke image links.
