Templates
Templates are the way to customize the way you study your cards. You can choose the order of the cards, the way they are displayed, the way they are grouped, the way they are reviewed, etc.
You can also create your own templates, or use one of the templates we provide by default.
Template List
Add a new template from the "Add" item from the top right menu.
You can choose the order in which the template cards will show in the deck to evaluate by selecting "Reorder" from the top right menu, then moving the templates inside the list by clicking and dragging the items, then clicking the icon on the top right. You have to save your changes.
Deferment Days for new cards of same entry: if different from zero, another new card from the same entry (whether same template but different index when the question field is a list, or from a different template) will wait the given number of days to appear in the list of new cards. This way, cards with similar data (e.g. Definition from Term, and Term from Definition) will not appear on the same day in the deck to evaluate. 1 is a safe choice if you do not want 0.
Deferment Days for review of related cards: if different from zero, after reviewing a card, the application will prevent another related cards from being displayed before the minimum between the given number and 1/4th of the number of that card's interval days (with a minimum of 1 day), so that the gap number increases with the familiarity until it reaches the given number. This way you should not see 2 opposite cards on the same day, which would be falsely easy for the second one.
Random Day Increment for review cards: if different from zero, when a card is set a number of days before the next review (From cards to evaluate, learning cards or cards to review), the normal number of interval days (from your review Interval Sequence) will be increased by a random number from 0 to the minimum between the given number and 1/4th of the number of days added, so that the random number increases with the familiarity until it reaches the given number. This way, it might mix the cards to review instead of seeing the same cards together. It is particularly effective if you study daily.
The 3 settings above might drastically increase the time to study cards and the intervals between reviews, and should not be used on a tight schedule without careful understanding and calculations.
Template Settings
You can choose to hide a template if you do not want to see any card in the study lists. This is particularly useful if you are just drafting a template, or if you have different templates in a public pack that let you choose from different templates (different languages, different levels of knowledge, different grouping, etc.).
Sequence from previous template: If not the first non-hidden template in the list, select whether you want the new cards to be available when the previous non-hidden template is fully learned (all the cards) or just the cards from the same entry. An example can be when you have 2 templates that display opposite sides (e.g. definition from term, and term from definition).
The first choice will show all the cards asking for the definitions from the terms, and then all the cards asking for the terms from the definitions.
The second choice will ask for the definition of the term of the first entry, then the term from the definition of the first entry, then will deal with the second entry... If you do not want to see both templates of the same entry on the same day, you can set a "Deferment days" number in the template list. This way you do not have to study the first template completely to see the second template, but you won't see both cards of the same entry on the same day.
Interval Sequence between reviews: Strictly increasing sequence of days for the Spaced Repetition. Instead of using a multiplier for the next number of days added, KooeeZ lets you choose fixed numbers, giving you better control over the days when you review cards. For example, if you study during the weekend, you can choose numbers like Nx7-1: -1 because of 2 days during the weekend, so that a card viewed on a Sunday will appear on the Saturday after N weeks. The last number will be repeated indefinitely.
HTML Sides Templates
Font size: this will set the font size of the cards generated by the HTML code of the cards, in the case you do not want to apply the general default value that can be set from the app menu.
Display mode: possibility to change the <div> parent element of the HTML templates by adding the following to the style attribute:
- "Default display": Uses style="display:flex;flex-direction:column". This allows you to use the whole card space (with
style="flex: 1"), even if the content does not, to allow drawing under your content for example.
Example:<div drawable style="flex: 1"></div> - Checbox checked: this will remove the display:flex style and use the default HTML display mode.
Question side and Answer side are based on Mustache on top of HTML code to generate both sides of the cards. The HTML code lets you customize your cards, while Mustache is used to fill it up with values from entries.
Check the HTML code
Check the Mustache Syntax
On top of the HTML allowed, we provide some very useful tools for flashcards that you will love:
- Drawable: to be able to draw on a part or the whole of a card
- Audio: customized, to play languages, music, etc.
- Images: customized, to display maps, pictures of objects, SVGs, etc.
- TeX Expressions: lets you display equations, vectors or chemistry formulas without having to generate images, with customizable css and style, and more accessible (font size follows the rest of the card).
- Fill-In-The-Blanks (Cloze Deletion): can be multiple per card, multiline, etc..
Preview Cards
By clicking on the "", you will be able to view the cards that are generated by the different entries already saved.
If you used "drawable" in the HTML template, you can test it in the preview, but you cannot manage it (erase, replay...) like in the study mode.
Bottom toolbar:
- "": switch to the back (answer) of the card
- "": switch to the front (question) of the card
- "<<": go to the previous entry
- "<": go to the previous card of the same entry
- "≡": the number after is the index of the entry
- "#": the number after is the index of the card for this entry
- ">": go to the next card of the same entry
- ">>": go to the next entry
- "": close the preview
