When parsing the Evernote <note> elements, the script will now also parse any nested <tag> elements, writing them out into a separate sqlite table.

Here is an example of how to query the data after the script has run: select notes.*, (select group_concat(tag) from notes_tags where notes_tags.note_id=notes.id) as tags from notes;

My .enex source file is 3+ years old so I am assuming the structure hasn't changed. Interestingly, my notebook names show up in the tags list where the tag name is prefixed with notebook_, so this could maybe help work around the first limitation mentioned in the evernote-to-sqlite blog post.

This is an error message I get upon parsing the enex file of my Inbox. Please find the full error message below. Any hints welcome.

Hey .. Awesome work developing this project, that I found very useful to me and saved me some work.. Thanks.. :)

Some background to this PR... I've been searching around for a tool allowing me to transforming my personal collection of Evernote notes to a format easier to search and potentially easier import to future services.

Now I discovered problem processing my large data ~5GB using the existing source using Pythons builtin xml-parser that unfortunately was unable to succeed without exception breaking the process.

My first attempt I tried to adapt to more robust lxml package allowing huge data and with "recover", but even if it worked better it also failed processing the whole data. Even using the memory efficient etree.iterparse() it also unfortunately got into trouble.

And with no luck finding any other libraries successfully parsing this enormous file I instead chose to build a "hugexmlparser" module that allows parsing this huge file using yield (on a byte-to-byte-level) and allows you to set a maximum size for <note> to cater for potential malformed or undesirable large attachments to export, should succeed covering potential exceptions. Some cases found where the parses discover malformed XML within <content> so also in those cases try to save as much as possible by escaping (to be dealt at a later stage, better than nothing), and if a missing end </note> before new (malformed?) it would add this after encounter a new start-tag.

The code for the recovery process is a bit rough and for certain room for refactoring, but at the moment is seem to achieve what I wanted.

Now with the above we pass this a minor changed version of save_note_recovery() assure the existing works. Also adding this as a new recover-enex command to click and kept the original options. A couple of new tests was added as well to check against using this command.

Now this currently works to me, but thought I might share a PR in such as you find use for this yourself or found useful to others finding this repository.

As a second step .. When the time allows it would have been nice to also be able to easily export from SQLite to formatted HTML/MD and attachments saved... but that might perhaps be better a separate project ... or if you or someone else have something that might shared to save some trouble, I would be interested ;-)

Seems that in some cases the updated element is not added to the note, this is a part of the problematic note:

I am on Windows 10 using Windows Subsystem for Linux, Python 3.8. I installed evernote-to-sqlite via pipx (in a venv). I tried using enex files from the latest version of Evernote for Windows (10.6.9 which only lets you export 50 notes at a time) and from Legacy Evernote (6.25.2.9198 which lets you export all your notes at once). The enex file from latest evernote gives this error:

File "/usr/lib/python3.8/xml/etree/ElementTree.py", line 1320, in XML parser.feed(text)
xml.etree.ElementTree.ParseError: XML or text declaration not at start of entity: line 2, column 6

The enex file from Legacy Evernote gives this error:

File "/home/david/.local/pipx/venvs/evernote-to-sqlite/lib/python3.8/site-packages/evernote_to_sqlite/utils.py", line 28, in save_note

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'text'

Relates to #1. Evernote XML looks like this:

```xml

<en-note>

</en-note> ``` That hash is the md5 we use to store resources. It should be possible to turn these into embedded image tags, especially if done in conjunction with the https://github.com/simonw/datasette-media plugin.

I haven't done the FTS on OCR yet. I'm going to move that to another ticket because it requires more thought.

Sort by date descending is likely the most common way of sorting, so that column should be indexed.

Also add FTS configuration for both notes and the OCR column on resources.

Without a GUID note IDs are pretty ineffective, but using a hash of the contents will at least avoid creating identical duplicates in the future.

https://sqlite-utils.readthedocs.io/en/stable/python-api.html#setting-an-id-based-on-the-hash-of-the-row-contents

They currently look like this:

In particular how to use datasette-render-images to see the images.
