Indented Cards

Indented Cards were designed to work with outliners like Logseq and Obsidian Outliner where each line starts with a dash “-” and the indentation is done via tabs.

The idea is very simple:

  • write a question
  • add tags
  • indent answer beneath (it can have multiple levels, images, code blocks, etc)

Example:

- Bridge Crossings
	- What is the average air speed velocity of a laden swallow? #flashcard #animals
		- the airspeed velocity of a (European) unladen swallow is about 24 mph
			- some more details
			- more
  - ...

This approach allows you to place your cards anywhere in your tree of thoughts.

Batch Cards

When creating a lot of cards at once — you will run into a situation where you have to repeat your tags over and over again:

- Question 1 #flashcard #tagA #tagB #tagC
	- Answer 1
- Question 2 #flashcard #tagA #tagB #tagC
	- Answer 2
- Question 3 #flashcard #tagA #tagB #tagC
	- Answer 3

This is where Batch Cards come in handy 👍

The example above becomes:

- #flashcard #tagA #tagB #tagC
	- Question 1 
		- Answer 1
	- Question 2
		- Answer 2
	- Question 3 #optional-additional-tag
		- Answer 3

The same goes for cards without a question, e.g. using a #spaced tag to quickly capture highlights from a book or lecture.
