Print file without cards inside option. #89

Open alanxoc3 opened 3 years ago

alanxoc3 commented 3 years ago

Of course I need to put more thought into this, whether or not it's worthwhile.

The idea is to have an option that will print a file, but without any of the cards. This could specifically be useful for some note files I have in markdown that I want to render to html. The cards could be easily treated as comments and not rendered in markdown if this case is done.

This kind of brings me to this question:

Are cards meant to simply be comments, or are they meant to be embedded into a document?

Can I apply literate programming concepts to cards?

A literate program tries to accomplish a goal. But flashcards are usually just random thoughts.

alanxoc3 commented 3 years ago

What if there was an option to print cards without the cloze formatting or the answer.

As an example, there could be markdown lines like this:

- #: The {basic operation} is the {unit of time} that is usually used to {measure} the {speed of an algorithm}. :#
- #: An {algorithm} is a {finite sequence} of {unambiguous instructions} for {solving a problem}. :#
- #: A {recurrence relation} uses {recursion} to find {numbers in a sequence}. :#

I like the idea in the previous comment. If flashcards are like comments, then I'm treating my notes incorrectly.
