francey 1 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Hi everyone, Just wondering if there was a way to add html content into a note, i don't want to be able to see the html itself just the content it makes. Thanks Link to comment
Level 5* JMichaelTX 4,115 Posted November 9, 2014 Level 5* Share Posted November 9, 2014 You can't add or edit the HTML code behind the Note using Evernote (there are 3rd party apps that will do this). However, when you copy text from a web site (for example), and paste it into Evernote (either adding to a Note, or creating a new Note), you are in effect adding HTML content to Evernote. There are other apps that generate documents based on HTML. You can copy from these as well. Link to comment
Level 5* jefito 5,589 Posted November 10, 2014 Level 5* Share Posted November 10, 2014 The Evernote format is based on XHTML : https://dev.evernote.com/doc/articles/enml.phpYou can edit this directly using THE ENML Editor: http://enml-editor.ping13.net/Or you can -- in the desktop applications -- export to ENML format, edit that in a text editor, and import it back in (you'll get a new note) Link to comment
Lazza 36 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Now you can do it also in Evernote Web with my user-script for Evernote HTML editing. Get it here: https://greasyfork.o...web-html-editor Screenshots: Link to comment
Jane Doe 14 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 You've likely moved on as this is an old thread, but this is still not available in Evernote as far as I can tell. But what you can do: Write the HTML and save it as an .html file. Open the .html file in a browser. Copy what you see in the browser to your clipboard (Ctrl+A then Ctrl+C). Paste the contents of your clipboard (Ctrl+V) to the Evernote note. Link to comment
Mike P 2,576 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Unfortunately I find Jane Does approach a little inconsistent. Sometimes it doesn't copy embedded pictures etc. html is one of the three text based formats (the others are txt and rtf) that Evernote renders as the body of the note if you simply drop the file into Evernote (or use the import folder in the windows desktop version). Unfortunately, again, this doesn't always include embedded content like pictures. The most reliable approach I have found (for stand alone html files with the content embedded) is to copy the html file to Dropbox. View the file on the Dropbox website interface (open in a new tab to avoid all the dropbox clutter) and then to use the EN webclipper from there. Unfortunately the webclipper doesn't work on local files Link to comment

Unfortunately, again, this doesn't always include embedded content like pictures. I've been messing about with copy/paste of formatted text in and out of Evernote. HTML into Evernote, it's not just pictures; some formatting doesn't make it over either. A particular example is an html page that's been created using multimarkdown or Pandoc, pasted from a browser into Evernote doesn't paste the syntax highlighting colours - css all inline, no JS. The current best solution is to use textutil to convert from the HTML to RTF but it's a bit all over the place. I'd like to have some idea of exactly doesn't and doesn't paste correctly when pasting frome browsers to Evernote. Is there a list somewhere? Link to comment

Scott Fillmer 0 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I'm trying to import some old Evernote notes that were exported back in 2009-2010 using the html exporter. Is there any way to do this at all? I'm confused as to why you can export in html but you can't go the other way? Without being able to import html these 500+ notes are just stuck, but I also have another app I use that only exports to html and I would really like to find a way that isn't cumbersome to be able to get these notes into EN. I would think EN would want you to be able to import as many things as you want. Thanks for any suggestions. Link to comment

On my Mac, for simple notes, I can drag the html files into my import folder or onto the Evernote icon This won't work with complex notes, for example with attachments edited: Dragging the notes and dropping on an Evernote Notebook preserved the attachments Link to comment
Level 5* CalS 5,262 Posted June 20, 2017 Level 5* Share Posted June 20, 2017 Windows. You can just drag HTML files into EN. Not sure about what's changed since the 2009/10 export process, but today if you drag the HTML file into a notebook any attachments in the "file folder" are brought along as well, if there are attachments. Try it with a few files to start and then do more at a time if you like. Link to comment

Sorry. The way I see it, I shouldn't have to worry about what will and what won't. I don't think it's unreasonable to expect that it just works. The inconsistency in the way content is pasted into Evernote is off the chart. It's doubly frustrating when it's so hard to fix because Evernote's formatting tools are so kludgy. If it was even productive to author in another app then paste into Evernote that would be something but it's not because you never know what you're going to get. It's a mess. Link to comment
