Generating Anki Cards

  1. Call:
anki-vim DECKNAME
  1. vim starts with a preformatted card. Start typing the front part of the anki card below "QUESTION", then fill out the back below "ANSWER". (NOTE: It is important to leave the QUESTION and ANSWER headers intact throughout)
  2. save the file and exit the editor. (vim: ":wq") => the card contents are saved to: $HOME/.ankivim/decks/DECKNAME/raw_cards.txt. (alternatively, you can specify a custom location for your decks using the --deckpath option of script/anki-vim.py.)
  3. editor starts right back up to generate a new card for the same deck => Iterate 2.-4. until all cards are generated.
  4. to stop the card creation process, simply close your editor ( for vim: ":q" or ":q!", for additional information see this book)
