Hi;
I have been using Notecase for a couple of years. I would like to keep
it but it seems it is no longer being maintained as open source.
∴ I would like to use Lyx as my large note taker or draft writer
application. The problem is Notecase uses an *.ncd suffix which is
unrecognized by Lyx. When I examine the files I want to import from
Notecase to Lyx they are designated in the header as:
<!DOCTYPE NoteCase-File>
<!--LastNote:41-->
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<meta content="text/html;charset=UTF-8"
http-equiv="Content-Type">
<meta name="generator" content="NoteCase 1.6.1">
<TITLE></TITLE>
... etc.
The markup is almost certainly html.
How can I convert these files into *.txt? I have tried several
variations of:
]$ html2text -o ~/UMLC.txt file:///home/bill/NoteCaseDocs/UMLC.
*Cannot open input file "file:///home/bill/NoteCaseDocs/UMLC.*".
Any suggestions greatly appreciated on how to import these (I have
several) *.ncd files into Lyx.
For a smallish number of files, the easiest is probably to open them in
Firefox and use Save As ... text.
