Bug: Markdown links exported by Notesnook are not interpreted correctly #146

mdalves commented 2026年06月19日 16:09:39 +02:00

I exported my notes from Notesnook in Markdown format and imported them into HelixNotes.

• Notebook structure was imported correctly.
• Notes are organized as expected.
• The attachments folder appears correctly in the sidebar.
• Some attachments and PDFs open without issues.

However, many attachment links are not recognized by HelixNotes.

Example of a link that works:

./../../attachments/4423d590a6f02c6b-The%20Johnny.Decimal%20Workbook%20(fifth%20edition)%20(1).pdf

Example of a link that does not work:

[MA_1.1_Projeto Layout.pdf](<./../../attachments/b9edab8f295cce53-MA_1.1_Projeto%20Layout.pdf>%20"MA_1.1_Projeto%20Layout.pdf"))

I manually changed the second example to:

[MA_1.1_Projeto Layout.pdf](./../../attachments/b9edab8f295cce53-MA_1.1_Projeto%20Layout.pdf)

and the link immediately started working.

The same unmodified Notesnook export was imported into Obsidian and all links worked correctly without any manual changes.

This suggests that HelixNotes may not currently support Markdown links containing:

angle brackets around the URL (<...>)

optional link titles ("...")

or a combination of both

Since these are valid Markdown/CommonMark constructs, could this be a parser compatibility issue?

Hello,

This should be fixed in the new v1.3.2 release. Closing this issue.
