Adding new cards with the Kaishi format #41

Closed ajbjc closed 2 months ago

There isn't a discussion page so I'm doing it as an issue. I have yomitan connected to anki, and I can choose to send new words to the kaishi deck and kaishi model (the fields). However, I don't know how to get it so that, when exported to anki, sentences appear formatted correctly. As for pitch accents, which style is used, Javdejong or Kanjium?

I personally would not modify the deck directly, instead configure a mining deck (I have a guide on my website) and choose Kaishi as a model. To get the sentences to be formatted correctly, you will have to copy-paste the Front, Back and Styling options detailed on this GitHub page (but also on your deck) into the new mining deck. As for pitch accent, I must admit I don't remember what we used, simply try out the various options and see which one corresponds, or which one you like best.

Hope you don't me asking, but why is it better to put new cards in a separate deck deck despite having the same format? I've only been using it for just over 2 weeks and have only mined 1 word.

You don't need to do it if you properly tag your cards I guess, but I've always been a big proponent of separating things. That allows for cleaner decks. You can put both your mining deck and kaishi into a bigger "Japanese" deck if you want.
