Vocabulary Cards is a plugin for obsidian displaying words and their meanings in an easy-to-learn format

Usage

The block format must be compatible with YAML.

Create a block with the simple format:

    ```voca-table
    word: explanation
    word2: <transcription2> explanation2
    word3: <transcription3> explanation3

    ```

Extended format:

    ```voca-table
    
    - 
        word: Your word
        transcription: Your transcription
        explanation: Your explanation
    - 
        word: Another word
        transcription: Another transcription
        explanation: Another  explanation

    ```

Same formats for Flashcards:

    ```voca-card
    word: explanation
    word2: <transcription2> explanation2
    word3: <transcription3> explanation3

    ```

Blocktypes

There are 2 types of block available:

  • voca-card: Preview the words as a card. One randomly picked word at a time.
  • voca-table: Preview the words as a list. All words are shown.

Statistics

There is file data.json in the plugin folder. The file contains statistics about correct answers. For reset statistics, delete the file.

Example

For example:

    ```voca-card
    
    eat: <iːt> comer  
    sleep: <sliːp> dormir
    code: <kəʊd> para codificar
    repeat: <rɪˈpiːt> repetir
    
    ```
