Easy way to convert OneNote Notes to Markdown
Problem
I have been using Microsoft OneNote for 10+ years, hence have a lot of notes in it. Finding notes in OneNote is becoming difficult now, and there is no way to establish links between notes. I have started a journey towards adopting Personal Knowledge Management and Second Brain principles. After researching for options that suited my journey, I have selected Obsidian as a tool of choice. Obsidian allows hashtagging, ability to link notes very easily, resulting in information being at your fingertips when you need it. Obsidian notes are all in markdown, hence the need to convert from OneNote to Markdown.
Migration Plan
The proposed migration path is:
1. Using One Note, export OneNote to .docx
2. Use commandline utility [[PanDoc Format Converter]] convert .docx to .md
3. Copy the .md files into your vault
4. Open the Vault in Obisidan and update
I have about 1400 notes in OneNote, and steps 1 and 2 will take forever. @sjoerdV has created a PowerShell script (https://github.com/nixsee/ConvertOneNote2MarkDown) that will do steps 1 and 2 above.
