Cards

A card has a front and a back. In practice cards can hold a lot more than plain text — images, audio, math notation, cloze deletions, tags — and this section covers the full range of what a card can be.

This page is still being written. The outline below shows what’s planned — the full content will land in an upcoming Help update.

This section will cover:

• Anatomy of a card — front, back, tags, and how each is used during study.
• Creating a card — opening the editor from a deck, entering front/back, saving.
• Editing an existing card — finding and modifying a card after it’s been created.
• Batch / quick card creation — adding several cards in one sitting without leaving the editor.
• Tags — adding tags to a card; how tags surface in study and search.
• Attachments
  • Images — adding images to front or back; supported formats; sizing on screen.
  • Audio — attaching audio clips; playback during study.
• Formatting & rich text
  • Text formatting — font, size, basic styling.
  • MathJax notation — \(...\) syntax for math; requires the deck’s MathJax preference to be on.
  • Cloze deletions — [blank] syntax for fill-in-the-blank cards; requires the deck’s Simple Cloze preference.
• Text-to-speech
  • Voice selection — picking a voice per language.
  • Autoplay — automatically speaking the card when it’s revealed.
• Starring cards — marking a card as starred for quick review (see Studying for the Starred filter).
• Deleting a card.

Sub-pages (to be created as detail grows):

• attachments.md — images and audio in depth
• mathjax-and-cloze.md — math and cloze syntax reference
• text-to-speech.md — voices, languages, autoplay
