How to import Delicious bookmarks into Evernote

Connect to your Delicious account and go to the settings. Click on export / back up links. You will get a .html file containing all your bookmarks and their attributes.

In a command line interface (like Terminal on OS X), enter the following command:

bookmark2enex <your delicious links.html> <your evernote login>

The Evernote login is only used to set an author on each note, it is not used to connect to your Evernote account.

The command creates a note for each link in the bookmark file. A note contains the following attributes from Delicious:

  • 'A' TAG CONTENT: the title of the link
  • HREF: the link
  • ADD_DATE: the creation date of the link
  • TAGS: the tags of the link
  • DD: the comment associated with the link

The content of the note is composed of the link and the link comment if there is one. The private attribute is ignored.

bookmark2enex creates a .enex file that you can import into Evernote (either by double-clicking on the file or by selecting Import notes... in the File Evernote menu).
