I have genuinely exported a notebook to HTML, uploaded it directly to my website, and had it run perfectly before.

On the note of competitors, it can import from a huge variety of different formats, and export to everything from PDF to HTML.

It saves its notes in a single file, giving you the option of two primary formats: SQLite database and XML document.

On Debian based Linux it’s as easy as running sudo apt update & sudo apt-get install cherrytree. It is possible to get it running on MacOS, but it requires a bit more work.
