[Evernote] Bullet points didn't import properly #253

Open hexoic opened 4 months ago

hexoic commented 4 months ago

so I got some strange formatting when importing an .enex notebook that had bullet points- vertical lines running along the sides and no bullets. I couldn't replicate it when making a new bullet point list and exporting+importing that one, so maybe an issue with older notes? I tried importing it into another note taking app, which did format the bullet points correctly, so it must be possible.

We'll need more information to investigate the issue. Can you share screenshots of what you're seeing in Evernote vs Obsidian?

Hi, sorry for the delay. Can't really share the text but I can block it out like so, so you can still see what I mean with the lines on the side.

as opposed to EN where they show up as regular bullets

the actual bullet list is longer but it just goes on like that. I did notice that it only did this with some bullet lists and not others, and they tended to be from older notes.

I suspect there's probably not much you can do, but hey thanks for your time anyway!

Lines to the side indicate that there is a leading tab character which causes an indentation. Since the text is hidden I cannot tell if there is also a dash - or other list character after the tab.

@akosbalasko have you come across this issue in Yarle?

ah, I'm dumb, I can safely just screen cap just the start of the lines, does this help?

since it was only a few it's not really a huge problem, I could just fix them manually, but, hey, every little helps in case others run into this.
