Frequently Asked Questions About Flashcard Formatter
What formats are supported?
Two formats: Markdown Table (renders as a clean two-column table in any Markdown viewer) and Anki Format (tab-separated values that Anki and other flashcard apps can import directly).
Can I use custom separators?
Yes. Beyond the standard colon and dash options, you can enter any custom separator character to split your terms and definitions.
Is this compatible with Anki?
Yes. The Anki Format output uses tab-separated values which Anki imports natively. Just copy the output, open Anki, and use File > Import to create your deck.
