Converting / importing existing text and markdown notes into Logseq

Questions & Help
2

Already posted above the scripts i found— off in the other resources category of the Awesome Logseq listing.

I could not find any documentation on importing except for this empty page which is presumably meant to document the Import feature in the three-dots menu. That, for its part, only has “Import existing notes” and promises “If they are in a JSON, EDN or Markdown format Logseq can work with them.” but only has these buttons:

  • RoamResearch Import a JSON Export of your Roam graph
  • EDN / JSON Import an EDN or a JSON Export of your Logseq graph
  • OPML Import OPML files

Nothing for plain text or plain markdown. And besides, as covered above, Logseq can already see my markdown files but i still need to improve the formatting and filenames.

Feature request to import from markdown that mentions the need to add bullets and to move assets to an assets directory and fix references to assets, which i realize now i have a small need for also:

But fixing up frontmatter and to some extent fixing filenames will continue to require customized scripts for random formats.

Other import questions from the forums:

There is clearly the need to have some conversion tools that people can modify to help them with getting their files formatted for Logseq.
