YAMDAI

YAMDAI stands for Yet Another Markdown Anki Importer.

It takes a specifically formatted markdown document and builds a deck for the flashcard app Anki. See below for an example

There are already several markdown to anki converters (ankdown, MDanki, markdown-to-anki...). I didn't like how those handled tags, thus my own version.

Installation

Windows

From the command line:

pip install git+https://github.com/Mufabo/YAMDAI

Linux

From the command line:

pip3 install git+https://github.com/Mufabo/YAMDAI

How to create markdown files for YAMDAI

The first line is a level-1 header (line starts with #) and will be the name of the resulting apkg file

The next line is the name of the deck. If you want to use a subdeck separate parent deck with double colons from subdecks.

The following lines contain tags. Subtags are separated using double colons. (Requires Hierarchical Tags 2 add-on) All tags will be used for all cards.

Now start the actual cards. Frontsides are level 2 headers (lines start with ##) The following text is the respective backside.
