Looks like Yarle is doing the trick for me. https://github.com/akosbalasko/yarle

Evernote2md kept tripping up on invalid UTF-8 symbols. https://github.com/wormi4ok/evernote2md

Template I’m using to get Yarle to generate markdown files that’ll work with Hugo.

---

{title-block}title: "{title}"{end-title-block}
draft: false
description: "Imported from Evernote"
tags: ["Devlog", "TentacleWalk", "BraitenBoids", "EvernoteImport"]
{source-url-block}Source URL: {source-url}{end-source-url-block}

---

{content-block}{content}{end-content-block}

^ omitting the {created-at} pattern because it was giving the wrong dates. Reading from the title instead.

Now I’m writing a Python script to move files around to match the structure expected by Hugo.

The Steps

#

For reference:

rm -rf yarlenotes/notes hugo_format

yarle-evernote-to-md

Choose to output to yarlenotes/ and it’ll put the notes in yarlenotes/notes/ Then run python3 y2hugo.py and it’ll output to hugo_format/ Then copy that to the content folder:

rm -rf ~/Code/nielweb/content/devlog/* ; cp -R ./hugo_format/* ~/Code/nielweb/content/devlog/

Python re.match vs. re.search

#

Big one for me to remember. re.match only searches for matches at the beginning of the string. re.search searches the whole string. This had me scratching my head for a bit.

Both return match objects.
