Re: Script: convert Tomboy/GNote XML to org-mode

[Darlan Cavalcante Moreira <darcamo@gmail.com>]

By using the indent option everything seems to work just fine. I noticed
that the PROPERTIES block is not indented, but that is not an issue. I can
already move from tomboy to org, but I will test any future version of
tomboy2org.

Thanks,
Darlan
