[FEAT] Using a tag to denote separating between question and answer #651

Open richardrl opened 1 year ago

Right now, the format for a flashcard must be:

Question ? Answer

This really restricts the formatting we can have. Notably, we are not allowed to have line breaks.

For example, Question ? Answer

Answer line

Paragraph

This makes it hard to format our answers

I thought there was a multiline format that helped with this. Can you try that and check?

richardrl commented 1 year ago

@AB1908 You can use multiple lines but you can't use white spaces. The current plugin ignores everything after a whitespace. Not having white spaces severely degrades the readability of your notes.

AB1908 commented 1 year ago

That's a fair point. I don't actually think of SRS notes as readable notes TBH, they're more like tests that cover what I should know and they're not the "content" itself which is why I never really cared about it.

@AB1908 But the power of Obsidian + SRS is that your cards can be made directly off note snippets. That saves a ton of work versus maintaining a separated anki deck + notes

AB1908 commented 1 year ago

Yep I agree, I'm sure that's why we have so many SRS users haha.
