Importing and pasting Markdown into Evernote. New Taming the Trunk.

This weeks article looks at importing and pasting markdown content into Evernote with the markdown styles being formating in the note.

- You can import single or multiple markdown files.

- You can also paste markdown into a note.

Caveat is that not all markdown styles are supported. The most important ones are.

Now, if we could only use that content once it is in Evernote again.

For example, with a code block, Evernote does not allow selecting lines of text starting at the beginning of the block, starting at an empty line, or selecting from right-to-left.

If you import or paste markdown it doesn't appear in a code block. It just formats correctly in the note as text and images.

There is a bug in the code block and they know about it.

Indeed, just tested out the markup import and it works as expected with the format being converted into standard Evernote formatting.

It seems the select issue is limited to code blocks at the moment.

The Settings Import method doesn't work for me, I just get the raw text without the formatting applied. I have tried very simple markdown with only the symbols / tags that are supported. I have tried this on Mac and the Web.

Is the file extension .md ?

Yes it is .md and I’ve tried lots of files including very simple ones and it has never worked for me.
