n2c
Converts a formatted notes file to tab delimited cards
To use add the n2c.py file to Anki/addons/ or run from command line. If using as an Anki plugin
you must currently convert the file using Tool->Convert Notes... and then import the newly created file.
Example
An input file written as such:
* cystic fibrosis
{symptoms}
chronic cough
wheezing
other problems // this isn't everything
{most commonly mutated gene} delF508
{<<} most common autosomal recessive disorder in caucasians
{<<associated with} pancreatic insufficiency
? what about other mutations?
* CTFR
{stands for} cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator // right?
*cystic fibrosis
{acronym|stands for} CF
{:} an inherited autosomal recessive disorder
will produce an output file that looks like:
cystic fibrosis: symptoms chronic cough<br>wheezing<br>other problems
cystic fibrosis: most commonly mutated gene delF508
most common autosomal recessive disorder in caucasians cystic fibrosis
pancreatic insufficiency: associated with cystic fibrosis
CTFR: stands for cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator
cystic fibrosis: acronym CF
CF: stands for cystic fibrosis
cystic fibrosis an inherited autosomal recessive disorder
learn: what about other mutations? (no back)
Explanation
* followed by some text sets the current subject. all subsequent
cards will be related to this subject. The subject must be one line.
Curly brackets establish a card. The simplest card uses {:}. The
current subject become the front and the text that follows the }
becomes the back. The back can be multiple lines. Line breaks are
converted to HTML <br> tag.
If text is given between the curly brackets, that text is suffixed to the subject.
{<<text} creates a reverse card with text as the prompt
{forward prompt|reverse prompt} creates two cards: a forward and a
reverse card, each with the respective prompt as a suffix.
