What issue do you have?
Joplin 2.13.12 on Windows 10 x64 properly imports ENEX notes (as Markdown), exported from classic desktop Evernote 6.25.1, that contain text that is marked both Highlighted and Bold, when such markings were done natively in Evernote itself.
Joplin 2.13.12 on Windows 10 x64 cannot properly import such ENEX notes (as Markdown), when the text fragments marked both Highlighted and Bold had been copy-pasted into Evernote from Microsoft Word.
It seems the difference is that Evernote itself employs classic < b > tag:
<div><span STYLE="background-color: rgb(255, 250, 165);-evernote-highlight:true;"><b>This line is both highlighted and bold</b></span></div>
While text copy-pasted into Evernote from Microsoft Word relies on < span STYLE >:
<div STYLE="margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span STYLE="font-weight: bold; background: yellow; mso-highlight: yellow;-en-paragraph:true;">This line is both highlighted and bold</span></div>
As a result, import ENEX notes (as Markdown) misses either Highlight or Bold.
A workaround is to use import ENEX notes (as HTML), but the MSWord-originated HTML is messy, practically uneditable when compared to clean Markdown Joplin notes.
It would be much more convenient if import ENEX notes (as Markdown) properly worked with Highlighted and Bold fragments that are marked via < span STYLE > tag.
Please, let me know if any additional information is needed.
Thank you.
