@Alexander this was a quick 10 minute hack that was ultimately abandoned due to a lack of interest and response from participants. There is no intention now of developing this further. Your best option for importing from Roam is to do so with Markdown files, as discussed earlier in this

@Saq the problem with markdown import is that (as far as I can tell) we can only import one markdown file at a time. Roam exports each page as its own markdown file, so I'm not seeing a way to import in bulk? @Mark S yes Roam titles are unique but also case sensitive. So you can have two

@anne-laure @yoni Why not just import in markdown from Roam? With the markdown plugin installed from the plugin library, you can import markdown and it should just work. This seems reasonable since content from Roam is going to be using markdown syntax for other things anyway. You can still

One caveat with the current approach is line breaks in bullet points. The current quick hack replaces line breaks with , which is ugly to say it midkly. Any thoughts on alternatives here are welcome. The issue with paragraphs in TW is also that the automatic paragraph handling is odd and a

The structure is definite in my opinion. A page in Roam should equate to a Tiddly. All the bullets (ie childs) in a Roam page should be grouped as normal text within the Tiddly. Insofar as child elements are nested in Roam, those should just translate to nested lists within the Tiddly. @Saq's

I was having the same idea as Mark - treat each child as a separate tiddler. Because that is how usually things are in TW5 - smallest semantic unit and all. But I guess each child is a bullet point? JSON mapping would be much easier if you have a definite structure. So if the children doesn't

Okay so this is looking promising! Thanks @Saq The import treats each child as a bullet point. This mimicks the way a page looks in Roam, but the idea of publishing on TW is that it reads more like a normal post, so I propose that you treat each child as just a paragraph (however nested
