Import & Export ​

Loading an existing YAML as your hierarchy ​

The simplest way to bring an existing project into PiTH is to point a new project directly at your YAML file when creating it. PiTH reads the file, builds the hierarchy, and writes changes back in the original format — no copying, no conversion.

  1. Click ⋮ → Projects → New project
  2. Set the markdowns directory to where your .md files are
  3. Click Browse next to the YAML field and select your file
  4. Click Create

PiTH supports:

  • PiTH native — root: key with path/title/order/children nodes

Exporting as HTML / PDF ​

Click ⋮ → View HTML/PDF to generate a single HTML document containing all files in hierarchy order. The document includes a cover page, table of contents, and all sections with print-friendly styling.

In a browser, the page opens in a new tab with Save as HTML and Print / Save as PDF buttons. In the standalone app, it opens in an overlay with a Save button.

Notes ​

  • Import from… replaces the current hierarchy entirely
  • Export reflects the current hierarchy at the time of export; run it again after any reorganization
  • If you used the YAML file field when creating a project, PiTH writes changes to the hierarchy back to your file automatically — you do not need to export
