Broccoli can only import it's own backup files (which can be created via "Backup & Restore"). But if you are technical adept and have some scripting skills you can create a broccoli-archive file yourself.
The broccoli-archive is basically a zip file which consists of other zip files (one broccoli file for each recipe) and a JSON file for the categories. Each broccoli file consists of an optional image file and a JSON file with describes the recipe's metadata. Create an export yourself and have a look at the resulting file.
The following task have to be done:
- Create the JSON file for each recipe (depending on the structure of your text files)
- Zip this file (with an optional image file) into a
broccolifile - Create a JSON file which describes your categories (in case you have any)
- Zip the JSON and all the
broccolifiles into abroccoli-archive - Import the
*.broccoli-archiveinto Broccoli
