Markdown files

The name of the file should have to be that way:

foobar - xxx - yyy.md

for example

Kimchi! 01 - insa - 인사.md

Baeuda will create note with xxx and yyy as tag in anki. In our example : insa and 인사

Format of notes for Anki

To process, all the markdown files should have, at least, those content structure:

h1 with the title of your markdown file
h2 with tags name (optional)
table with same headers name of the "fields" defined in the "anki type of note"

Let's see with an example :

In anki, among the provided types of notes, you can find "basic" which content 2 fields "recto" and "verso"

so in your markdown file you will have to create tables with headers named recto and verso

Title of the note - Topic - details

Recto | Verso
-------- | --------
Color on the sun ? | Yellow
Universal reply ? | 42

real example with three columns

Kimchi! Fiche 1 - 인사 - insa - salutations
Coréen | Romanisation | Français
------ | ------------ | --------
안녕하세요 | annyeonghaseyo | bonjour

Anki desktop

To add cards to Anki, you need to use an existing model (also known as "type of notes")

There are many models you can use, if none fit your needs, you can create on as I did : tools > type of notes then add button and choose Duplicate Basic (and reversed card) then we'll add a third fields Romanisation and will change Front to Coreen and Back to Français

Then add this addon AnkiConnect to allow Anki to allow us to add the notes with the current script.

Let's Go

First of all, start Anki on your desktop

simulated process

python baeuda/run.py -a report

will display a table of all the grabbed data to create card

creating cards

python baeuda/run.py -a go

during the execution, you can have a look in anki and see the decks created and receiving cards ;)
