Converting One Note to Markdown

This is an example of how to convert notes from OneNote into Markdown to use in other, less annoying Note applications. I am using PowerShell on Windows here, but other shell/scripting environments would work as well. If you want separate .md files, you'll need to export your OneNote pages separately. Exporting a section, or a selection of pages creates a single .docx file.

Download and install Pandoc
Export each of your note pages to a .docx (Word) format using OneNote export from the File menu
Gather all of these .docx files into a directory
Open directory in File Explorer
Open Powershell from the File Explorer using File -> Open Windows Powersell
Run the following command:

	#@Powershell -NoP -W Hidden -C "$PSCP='%~f0';$PSSR='%~dp0'.TrimEnd('\');&([ScriptBlock]::Create((gc '%~f0'\|?{$_.ReadCount -gt 1}\|Out-String)))" %* & exit/b

	if ($PSCommandPath) {
	$PSCP = $PSCommandPath
	$PSSR = $PSScriptRoot
	$code = '[DllImport("user32.dll")]public static extern bool ShowWindowAsync(IntPtr hWnd,int nCmdShow);'
	$type = Add-Type -MemberDefinition $code -Name Win32ShowWindowAsync -PassThru
	[void]$type::ShowWindowAsync((Get-Process -PID $PID).MainWindowHandle,0)
	}
	Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms, System.Drawing

	package main

	import (
	"bytes"
	"fmt"
	"os/exec"
	"strings"
	)
