Import and Export¶
Tag export¶
With
jrnl --tags
you’ll get a list of all tags you used in your journal, sorted by most frequent. Tags occurring several times in the same entry are only counted as one.
Markdown export¶
Use
jrnl --export markdown
Markdown is a simple markup language that is human readable and can be used to be rendered to other formats (html, pdf). This README for example is formatted in markdown and github makes it look nice.
Export to files¶
You can specify the output file of your exported journal using the -o argument
jrnl --export md -o journal.md
The above command will generate a file named journal.md. If the -o argument is a directory, jrnl will export each entry into an individual file
jrnl --export json -o my_entries/
The contents of my_entries/ will then look like this:
my_entries/
|- 2013_06_03_a-beautiful-day.json
|- 2013_06_07_dinner-with-gabriel.json
|- ...
