Export

VNote exports your notes to shareable formats: Markdown, HTML, and PDF out of the box, plus almost anything else through Pandoc or a custom command.

General settings

In the export dialog you choose the scope and the target:

  • Scope — export the current note, all notes in the current folder, or all notes in the current notebook.
  • Target format — Markdown, HTML, PDF, or Custom.
  • Rendering style — you can apply a different style for the exported output than the one you edit with (styles come from your theme).

Markdown

Exports the note as a Markdown file into a single folder, together with its images and attachments. Useful for producing a clean, self-contained copy.

HTML

Exports the note to a single HTML page with its styles and images embedded, so the one file is easy to share and opens anywhere in a browser.

PDF

Exports to PDF either directly or via the wkhtmltopdf tool. Using wkhtmltopdf adds support for a document outline (bookmarks).

The All-In-One option combines multiple source notes into a single target file — handy for turning a folder of notes into one document.

Custom

The Custom target runs a command of your choice, most often Pandoc, to reach formats such as docx, epub, and many more. Refer to Pandoc's documentation for the details, or plug in your own script.

For example, on Windows this command exports to nearly any format via Pandoc — just change the target file suffix to docx, epub, and so on:

"c:\your\path\to\pandoc.exe" --resource-path=.;%2 --css=%3 --css=%4 -s -o %5 %1

On non-Windows platforms, change the path separator from ; to :.

Tips

  • Export is based on read mode rendering, so what you see in read mode is what you get. Check math, diagrams, and images render correctly there first — see Editor Basics.
  • For PDF with a clickable outline, install wkhtmltopdf and select it in the dialog.
  • For repeatable, scriptable conversions, a Task that calls Pandoc can complement the export dialog.
