So! I’ve followed the instructions in this webpage. (Help dot obsidian dot md slash import slash html)
I’ve exported with this service. (Notebook dot zohocloud dot ca slash app slash index dot html poundsign slash notebooks)
That downloads a ZIP file that’s full of many HTML files and pngs. I unzipped that into its open folder. Then I asked Obsidian to import the folder that contains all those files.
The body of the notes seem mostly intact. But the titles are way off. Is this something that any of you know how to remedy, or will I have to rename all my notes manually?
P.S. boy it’s a wild choice that we can’t include links here. Those are pretty necessary to explain problems with full context.
When I click on one of these links, it creates a brand new note at the very bottom of my list, outside of the container where all the rest of them live. And the note is blank aside from this weird title and html extension. This is consistent, I’ve tried it a few times.
Sorry about that. It’s a forum setting for new users to prevent spam and stealth link changing. Once you are here for a bit and have some posts, you’ll be able to post links without issue and edit your posts.
You can mark the links as code and that should let you post them. Sorry about that, and thanks for understanding.
If I understand correctly, this is an export from Zoho Notebook. The files inside are in HTML markup, but it’s not “plain HTML”. I. e. there is metadata and other custom tags. This isn’t handled by the default HTML importer.
What you could do is:
Request the import from Zoho at the obsidian-importer plugin. As far as I can see, there isn’t a feature request for this format yet.
Convert to Markdown with a third-party tool, like Jimmy (I’m the developer):
