Making multiline cards

[debanjandhar12]

Creating a simple multiline card

The simplest way to make a multiline card is to use the #card tag.

For Example,

SQL commands can be divided into: #card

• Data Definition Language

• Data Manipulation Language

• Data Control Language

This will create a note with following cards in Anki:

Front	Back

Creating incremental multiline card

Now, a characteristic of a good SRS card is that it should be atomic. The above card is clearly not atomic as we are recalling three names in one card. The plugin provides the #incremental tag so that each children bullet can be a separate card.
For Example,

SQL commands can be divided into: #card #incremental

• Data Definition Language

• Data Manipulation Language

• Data Control Language

This will create a note with following cards in anki:

Front	Back
$$\vdots$$	$$\vdots$$

Specifying direction of multiline card

It is also possible to specify the direction of the card. This is done using the tags: #forward, #reversed, #bidirectional

For Example,

SQL commands can be divided into: #card #reversed

• Data Definition Language

• Data Manipulation Language

• Data Control Language

This will create a note with following cards in anki:

Front	Back

Additonal Points

• You can use the #flashcard tag instead of #card to create a card incase you don't want logseq to treat it as a card.
• You can use the direction property direction:: ->, direction:: <-, direction:: <-> to specify the direction of the card as well.
• You can use the #depth-n tag to limit the children rendering depth to n. For example, #depth-1 will render only the first level of children.
• You can use the #card-group tag to turn all the children of it's block to cards. For example, click here.

Hi,
thank you very much for the great plug in.
I am not sure, if this is the right place to ask for an additional feature.
It would be great, when using incremental multiline cards, that you could create flashcards, that ask you from top till bottom without showing the other bullet points.

Logseq:
What is? #cad #incremental

• A
• B
• C

=> Anki:
First card: Front: What is?
Back:

• A
• ?
• ?

Second card: Front: What is?
Back

• ?
• B
• ?

Third card: Front :What is?
Back
-?
-?
-C

That would be great to have. Thank you very much for the hard work. 🤓

Hello, thank you so much for your work! I really appreciate the anki integration you made for logseq.

Since the "specifying extra information" function is only available for single blocks, I was wondering in #incremental if there is a way to disable the flashcard option for a children block, i.e. it appears as extra information and is not considered as a children flashcard?

I am just curious if this function existed/that there are plans to write this in future, please don't mind me if it is not within your plans to update it, or that if I came across as demanding. Thank you very much regardless, this plugin has been amazingly helpful.

Requested in #204

An tiny update: card-group now applies tags like #reversed and #bidirectional on the children cards as well. You can use either of '#bidirectional' or '#forward' or '#reversed' to overwrite the direction for specific children cards too.

It is now possible to prevent syncing cards by using the using the #no-anki-sync tag:

Hi, thank you very much for this plugin!
Just a quick question on using the #incremental tag

in the example above, #incremental seems to incrementally hide one element whilst showing all the rest of the elements

how could I use this for sequential steps where I should only test my recall on the next step without getting hints about later steps?

for example if I have

1. step 1
2. step 2
3. step 3
4. step 4

and the generated card is testing my recall on 'step 2'
then is it possible to generate a card like

forward:

1. step 1
2. [...]
   backward:
3. step 1
4. step 2
5. step 3
6. step 4

i.e. if testing 'step 2', the previous steps can be shown but the proceeding steps (3 & 4) should not be shown as they could give away too obvious hints about what 'step 2' is

I hope that makes sense?
