This will be a tough one....note application from 2000...!

The notes imported are in HTML, and they are nicely nested:

Format looks like this:

<html>
<body>

<dt>Cars</dt>
<dd>Automobiles<br /><br />
<dl>
<dt>Sports</dt>
<dd>Ferrari<br /><br /></dd>
<dt>Sedan</dt>
<dd>Toyota<br /><br /></dd>
</dl>
</dd>
<dt>Motorcycles</dt>
<dd>All bikes with engines<br /><br />
<dl>
<dt>Cruisers</dt>
<dd>Harley<br /><br /></dd>
<dt>Touring</dt>
<dd>Honda Gold wing</dd>
</dl>
</dd>
</dl>


</body>
</html>

I was also able to get this into markdown, somehow....!

This and this page might be worth a look.

If you simply want to export your generated markdown to Joplin, you can use File -> Import -> Markdown (File).

If you want to preserve the hierarchy it gets difficult. I'm not an expert on the import feature, but I think it isn't possible OOTB. I guess there are two options:

  1. Split the HTML file in a folder/file hierarchy and convert to markdown. Then use File -> Import -> Markdown (Directory)
  2. Create the notebooks/notes by data API calls.
