Installation
Requirements
- anki-connect, an Anki add-on required by this package to interact with Anki.

If you have MELPA in your package-archives,
just M-x package-install RET anki-editor RET, or install it

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 for reference.
