Cards

Help Information

About

Using the Easy Editor is a quick way to create cards. Place your mouse cursor under Question 1 and enter your question. Next enter your Answer. Then press Next Card. When finished, press the Preview/Save Cards and then Save Cards to Server.

To create cards rapidly, you can use a few key shortcuts. First enter your question, then press TAB. You can immediately begin typing your answer. Now press TAB again. Notice the "Next Card" button is hilighted. Press the Enter key or the Space key. Notice your card is saved and your cursor is back to the question box. You can immediately begin typing your next question. No need to use your mouse during the whole process.

Normally your card file will be parsed and spruced up a bit to try to make it look nice with minimal effort. If you enter multiple lines, your answer will be placed into a list. If you enter a [: ] (colon space) the parts before the colon will be bolded. So you can enter something like

Memory Item: Step 1
Memory Item2: Step 2

And it will turn out like this:

Memory Item: Step 1
Memory Item2: Step 2

You can preview your cards to see how they will look before saving changes.

You can switch to the Advanced Editor at any time to see how cards are formatted, or if you want to rapidly enter cards. It's pretty easy. Cards are stored as simple text files. The format of the cards is a question line, followed by an answer line (or lines), followed by a blank line to indicate a new question. See the example below..

This is question 1.
This is answer 1.

This is question 2.
This is answer 2.
This is part of answer 2.

This is question 3.
This is answer 3.

You can also use <question></question> and <answer></answer> tags to create questions on more than 1 line or answers that have blank lines. When using <question> or <answer> tags, the formatting will not be spruced up by the parser, so you can make it look exactly how you want it.

<question>
This is question 1.
This is part of question 1.
</question>
This is answer 1.

This is question 2.
<answer>
This is answer 2.

This is part of answer 2.
</answer>

This is question 3.
This is answer 3.

Please note that when setting font colors, sizes and styles, this will override the settings set on the iPod/iPhone itself. You may want to just use plain text. You should also use Remove Formatting button to changed styled text back to plain text.

Insert Embedded Image

To insert an image, enter a URL or upload a file, then press Insert. Images must be .png, .jpg or .gif. The image will be resized for best fit on the iPod/iPhone.

PROS:
The image is embedded directly into the file. It will always be accessible when reviewing cards- it does not require an internet connection.
You can upload a file from your computer.
CONS:
Versions of Internet Explorer do not work well with embedded images. If images do not display, you may want to try FireFox or Chrome.
There is a size limit on the card file. You will be alerted if you go over this limit- generally 25 images, depending on size.

Insert Image Link

Insert an image link. What is different about a link?

PROS:
You can link to an image of any size.
You can insert any number of image links in a file.
No known issues with any browsers.

Insert Equation

You can insert equations into a flashcard using the TeX language. Additional symbols here, here and here.

Basics: Symbols are a slash followed by a symbol name. Anything between 2 curly braces represents a logical group.

Try typing in one of the example equations:

$x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt {b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

Equation Examples	Result
x + y - a \times b \cdot c	$x + y - a \times b \cdot c$
2^n \times 2_x	$2^n \times 2_x$
\frac{x+t}{y}	$\frac{x+t}{y}$
\sum_{k=1}^n k = \frac{n(n+1)}{2}	$\sum_{k=1}^n k = \frac{n(n+1)}{2}$
\max_{0\le x\le 1}x(1-x)=1/4	$\max_{0\le x\le 1}x(1-x)=1/4$
\lim_{x\to\infty}f(x)=0	$\lim_{x\to\infty}f(x)=0$
x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt {b^2-4ac}}{2a}	$x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt {b^2-4ac}}{2a}$
