What is the note separator in files to be imported into the iOS or MacOS Notes app?

The Apple support article about importing Evernote notes into the iOS Notes app says, “Each .enex file can include one or many notes.” If the file includes many notes how does the Notes app tell where one note ends and another begins? i.e., what is the note separator?


Thanks for your help,

So, I downloaded Evernote, made a couple of notes, exported the Notebook containg those 3 notes & find its an XML file

Looks like this is at the start of each note...

"http://xml.evernote.com/pub/enml2.dtd"><en-note><div>


Note1 & Note2 are the contents of the 3 notes...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE en-export SYSTEM "http://xml.evernote.com/pub/evernote-export3.dtd">

<en-export export-date="20210425T201646Z" application="Evernote" version="10.10.5">

You are the only one that can mark it as such, sory, Apple says it cannot be undone.


I guess I assumed you had an enex file, please excuse my assumption, but no reason to get nasty.


Likely since it was mistakenly marked as Solved you'd stand a better chance of getting other help on your query by starting a new topic.


And if you wish someone can ask this thread to be deleted so others aren't misled. :)
