Text formatting not overtaken after import of Journey ZIP file

Cue0

Hi. I would like to migrate after 7 years of using Journey to Diarium.
Today I tested exporting of year 2018 and 2019 (about 1'300 entries) in Journey to ZIP file and imported to Diarium Android app on my mobile phone. Everything went well and I was very happy.
After a while I discovered that in many entries original bold formatted text was imported as "star star Text star star" (not in bold) while in many other entries bold formatted text was imported correctly. Right now I don't see any reason what the root cause is. Oddly even two entries from same day have different outcome. If I check the original entries in Journey, both entries have bold words which are not differently formatted.

After checking source text within the ZIP file I found following difference:
Entry 1: Text in star star Text star star is also existing exactly same way in json file
Entry 2: Text in correct bold format is existing as <strong>Text</strong> in json file

How can I avoid this "strange" different so that I can have correctly formatted entries in Diarium?

Diarium version: 3.1.44
OS + version: Android (EMUI 12.0.0)
Device model: Huawei Mate 20 Pro

It sounds like a Journey bug to me if they export bold text in two different formats: "star star" (sounds like Markdown) and "<strong>" tags (sounds like HTML). Have you asked Journey support why this is the case?
Diarium requires the data to be in html to be imported with formatting

Hi Timo. Thank you for your quick reply. Journey seems to have changed their formatting programming meanwhile.
In my example above, the one entry with "star star text star star" formatting was created 2019. The other one for the same day was edited recently in 2025 and therefore changed regarding formatting to html. I know how to proceed now... : -|
