This gem help to convert Supermemo UX course into anki format txt files.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'sm_to_anki'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install sm_to_anki

memo_course
  - course.xml
  - itemxxxxx.xml
  - media
    -- xxxxx.jpg

The data is mainly stored in three places, course.xml stores information about the whole course, itemxxxxx.xml stores dat for each item, and the media folder stores files used in the itemxxxxx.xml.

course.xml which stores the course category and hierarchy as following: b258b4b0-aff6-416a-b36f-d82dc16a0a3c <title>Fake Course</title>

  <element id="1" type="pres" name="Category1">
    <element id="2" type="exercise" name="1" />
    <element id="3" type="exercise" name="What's the relationship between..." />
  </element>

  <element id="4" type="pres" name="Category2">
    <element id="5" type="pres" name="sub-category1">
      <element id="6" type="exercise" name="1" />
    </element>

    <element id="7" type="pres" name="sub-category2">
      <element id="9" type="pres" name="category-level-3">
        <element id="8" type="exercise" name="1" />
      </element>
    </element>
  </element>

</course>

itemxxxxx.xml stores the item question and answer. In Supermemo UX it contains four types:

• Simple Question and Answer
• True or False
• Multiple choices
• Pick the right choice
• Cloze

Each item will be converted to the anki format import files

media file contains the media files refered in items.

{course_title}_anki/
  - sub_category1
    - simple_qa.txt
    - cloze.txt
    - multi_choice.txt
    - truth.txt
  - sub_category2
{course_title}_media/
{course_title}_processed_item.txt

Firstly, I will retrive the course information from the course.xml and convert it to the following format:

 {
   "title"=>"fake_course", 
   "content" => {
     "Category1"=>["00002", "00003"],  # simple_question
     "Category2"=>{
       "sub-category1"=>["00006"], # truth
       "sub-category2"=>{
         "category-level-3"=>["00008"] #cloze
       }
     }
   }
 }

The destination directory hierachy will be generated from this hash.

The information of the item is processed as html string. The first field of every item should be {course_title}_id to make this entry unique across anki Processed items will be stored within the processed_item.txt separate with ,

Detection: The question contains a tag. Result:: The correct answer will be converted to c1:answer string within the question. Id|Question|Explanation

Detection: The question contains a tag. Result:: The Options will be retrived from the tag, and build a string and append to the trail of the question. true/false The right answer will be put on an independent field Id|Question|Answer|Explanation

Detection: The question contains a or tag. Result:: The Options will be retrived from the tag, and build a string and append to the trail of the question. true/false The right answer will be put on an independent field Id|Question|Answer|Explanation

Detection: Both the quesiton and string doesn't contain special tags. Result:: Id|Question|Answer

UTF-8 String will be decoded to utf-8 character.

HTML tags within the Question string will be preserved

As Anki process the import file line by line, new line character should be converted to HTML <br> tags.

Files within original media folder are prepended with a namespace

xxxxxa.jpg will be converted to course_title_xxxxx1.jpg course_title is transformed from the <title> field of the course.xml file and is converted to underscore.
