43- A deck is a Markdown file. Blank lines separate flashcards. Question-answer cards use the slash character to separate the sides:
43+ This section describes the text format used by hashcards.
44+
45+ ### Basic Cards
46+
47+ Question-answer flashcards are written like this:
4448
4549```
46- What is the order of a group? / The cardinality of its underlying set.
50+ Q: What is the order of a group?
51+ A: The cardinality of its underlying set.
4752```
4853
49- Cloze cards use square brackets to denote cloze deletions:
54+ Both the question and the answer can span multiple lines:
55+
56+ ```
57+ Q: List the PGM minerals.
58+ A:
59+
60+ - ruthenium
61+ - rhodium
62+ - palladium
63+ - osmium
64+ - iridium
65+ - platinum
66+ ```
67+
68+ ### Cloze Cards
69+
70+ Cloze cards start with the ` C: ` tag, and use square brackets to denote cloze deletions:
5071
5172```
52- The [order] of a group is [the cardinality of its underlying set].
73+ C: The [order] of a group is [the cardinality of its underlying set].
5374```
5475
76+ Again, cloze cards can span multiple lines:
77+
78+ ```
79+ C:
80+ Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the
81+ desire: this is also vanity and vexation of spirit.
82+
83+ — [Ecclesiastes] [6]:[9]
84+ ```
85+
86+ ### Term-Definition Cards
87+
88+ This is a special shorthand. This:
89+
90+ ```
91+ T: lithification
92+ D: The process of turning loose sediment into rock.
93+ ```
94+
95+ Is equivalent to writing this:
96+
97+ ```
98+ Q: Define: lithification
99+ A: The process of turning loose sediment into rock.
100+
101+ Q: Term for:
102+
103+ The process of turning loose sediment into rock.
104+
105+ A: lithification
106+ ```
107+
108+ The constraint here is that the term must be a single line of text.
