Open ENML File

ENML (Evernote Markup Language) is an XML-based file format used by Evernote, a popular note-taking application. With this in mind, the primary way to open and use files with .enml file extensions is through Evernote itself. However, because ENML is essentially a branch of XML, these files can also potentially be opened and manipulated with any text editor or software that supports XML files.

Using Evernote to Open ENML Files

As the primary platform for ENML files, Evernote provides the most straightforward way to open these files. In Evernote, each individual note is saved in the ENML format. This allows for features such as text formatting, media attachments, and geo-tagging among others. To view the ENML file of a note, you need to export the note and select the 'ENEX' format, which is another format used by Evernote that can contain one or many ENML files.

Opening ENML Files with XML Editors

Because they are XML-based, ENML files can also be opened and edited with any XML editor. For instance, programs like oXygen or Sublime Text provide support for XML filetypes and can help you edit the raw ENML file. Keep in mind, however, that changes made to the ENML file may not be compatible with Evernote.

Programming Tools To Manipulate ENML Files

Another way of working with ENML files is through programming tools, specifically those that support XML. Libraries for languages like Python (such as lxml), or JavaScript (such as xml2js) can parse and manipulate ENML files, providing powerful tools to interact with this data programmatically.

ENML File Important Information

Whilst navigating and utilizing ENML files, it is important to be aware of the limitations. As a proprietary format, some ENML features might only be supported in the Evernote environment. Additionally, while it's possible to manipulate ENML files with other XML tools, these modifications might not translate back into Evernote accurately or at all.

Furthermore, ENML files alone may not contain all information relevant to the Evernote note. Sometimes, notes within Evernote include multimedia attachments that are not embedded directly into the ENML file but referenced. This means if you're working with ENML files outside of Evernote, you might also need to track down any attached files to fully reconstruct the note.

In conclusion, when dealing with ENML files, unless you are looking to heavily manipulate the data or are wanting to interact with these files programmatically, the most straightforward and reliable way to open and use them is usually through Evernote itself.
