How to preserve line breaks when sending to Evernote?
-
I'm working on a workflow to archive blog posts to Evernote, and I'd like to keep the source content in Markdown. I can upload the document to Evernote, but line breaks are missing (I just get one giant wall of text). Is there a way to preserve line breaks somehow, and still keep my content as plaintext (i.e. not upload as HTML)?

I think you have to use div tags. Or paragraphs. Try double new lines. This is an Evernote issue, of course. In their ENML docs they talk about how to do this - under (I think) how to store code samples.

Yeah, I was hoping this was an encoding issue, but it's totally due to the the ENML spec. Does anyone know if there's a quick way to convert HTML/XML/ENML back into Markdown, or do the tools only flawlessly work in one direction?

@WyldKard The semantic set in HTML/XML/ENML is far greater than in (Multi)Markdown so - as with ENML - you'd have to restrict the problem to some subset of HTML that could be transcribed to (M)MD.
It would be a valuable exercise, of course: Lots of Evernoters would thank whoever made it work.
