inka 0.10.0

Command-line tool for adding Markdown cards to Anki

Automatically add your Markdown flashcards to Anki.

Installation

• Install AnkiConnect plugin
• Install inka: python3 -m pip install inka --upgrade

What is this?

inka automatically adds cards from your markdown notes to Anki. This allows you to write cards in the same file with your notes, or write your notes as cards.

Cards are created using plain markdown syntax:

1. Question?

> Answer

2. Another question?

Second line of question.

> Answer
> With Image
>
> ![](path/to/another/image.png)

Every question starts with number followed by period (e.g. 1., 2.) and every line of the answer starts with >.

Only basic (front/back) cards are supported.

Usage

Creating cards

In order for the program to be able to separate cards from all the rest of the text in the file, you need to enclose them between two ---:

---

Deck: Default

Tags: learning life-questions

1. What is the answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything?

> 42

2. If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then what is it?

> It is a duck!
> ![duck](duck_image.png)

---

:warning: This means that you can't use the --- syntax anywhere else in the file for inka to work properly.

You can create any number of such sections in the file.

Inside the section, you can specify the name of the deck to which the cards will be added, and tags for the cards. If deck name isn't specified, then the one from the config is used (Default by default). The deck name is written after Deck:, and tags for all cards after Tags: with spaces between each tag.

Adding cards to Anki

Add cards from the file:

inka collect path/to/cards.md

Or from all markdown files in a directory:

inka collect path/to/directory

You can also pass multiple paths at once:

inka collect path/to/cards.md path/to/folder
