plain2anki allows you to take plain text notes on your lectures and classes and then automatically converting them to a Anki-importable CSV.

Go to plain2anki.simonknott.de, enter your plain text notes and click on the "download" button to obtain a CSV file of your questions. That file can then be imported in Anki: The first column contains the questions, the second one contains answers.

The parsing rules for your plain text notes are illustrated by the following example:

- How many ounces is one kilo? 2.37 ounces.
* What's 1+1? Is it odd? It's two, it's even.

What's the stupidest animal in the jungle?    The polar bear.

This will result in the following questions:

Q: How many ounces is one kilo? A: 2.37 ounces.

Q: What's 1+1? Is it Odd? A: It's two, it's even.

Q: What's the stupidest animal in the jungle? A: The polar bear.

Some rules for parsing your plain text:

• Cards are separated by line breaks.
• Empty lines are ignored.
• Leading enumeration marks like -, *, or + are ignored.
• The last question mark in a line marks the end of the question.
• If there's no question mark, e.g. in a "Define X." kind of card, the first "." marks the end of the question.
• Both questions and answers are trimmed of surrounding whitespace.
