Convert from Samsung Notes to Markdown

  • Most of the markup is not preserved.

Notes on the proprietary .sdocx format

It would be desirable to convert Samsung Notes .sdocx files directly, as they should contain all information. The .sdocx files are zip archives with content:

├── abc8fd18-01b9-11f0-8139-fb1a97747e58.page
├── abc90452-01b9-11f0-9538-4bbfa19fc222.page
├── end_tag.bin
├── media
│   └── mediaInfo.dat
├── note.note
└── pageIdInfo.dat

It was not possible to reverse engineer the binary files in a reasonable amount of time, though. If you have any information about the layout, please share.
