anki-editor -- Make Anki Cards in Org-mode

* Installation

  *Requirements*
  - [[https://github.com/FooSoft/anki-connect#installation][anki-connect]],
    an Anki add-on required by this package to interact with Anki.
  - curl

  If you have [[http://melpa.org/][MELPA]] in your =package-archives=,
    just =M-x package-install RET anki-editor RET=, or install it
    manually by downloading and visiting [[anki-editor.el]] in your
    emacs buffer, and =M-x package-install-from-buffer RET=.

* Usage

** The Syntax

   Now you can compose Anki notes in Org syntax, e.g. lists, code
   blocks, tables, latex fragments / environments, when being
   submitted to Anki, they will be converted to HTML by Org-mode's
   HTML backend with specific markers (e.g. latex) translated to the
   Anki style.

   The structure of contents is as follow, which is inspired by
   =org-drill=. See [[./examples.org][examples.org]] for reference.

   #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE

   ** Vocabulary
   *** Item                                            :note:
       :PROPERTIES:
       :ANKI_NOTE_TYPE: Basic (and reversed card)

       :END:
   **** Front
        (it's) raining cats and dogs
   **** Back

   #+END_EXAMPLE

   - Headings of deck are tagged with =deck=
   - Headings of note are tagged with =note=
   - Levels are not significant, but note headings must be descendents
     of their deck headings
   - Custom properties of a note heading can be used to specify note
     type and tags
   - Subheadings of a note heading are fields of its note type

** Command Cheatsheet

   | Command                                       | Brief Description                                                   |
   |-----------------------------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------|
   | =anki-editor-submit=                          | Send notes in current buffer to Anki.                               |
   | =anki-editor-insert-deck=                     | Insert a deck heading.                                              |
   | =anki-editor-insert-note=                     | Insert the skeleton of a note.                                      |
   | =anki-editor-add-tags=                        | Add tags to property drawer of current heading with autocompletion. |
   | =anki-editor-cloze-region=                    | Cloze region.                                                       |
   | =anki-editor-export-heading-contents-to-html= | Export the contents of the heading at point to HTML.                |
   | =anki-editor-convert-region-to-html=          | Convert and replace region to HTML.                                 |

   Note that =anki-editor-submit= will fail if the deck does not exist
   yet. New decks must be created in Anki first.
