Hi,
I would like to use org-drill to train my Spanish vocabulary. However,
it's essential that I can also export my file for "offline-review". I
don't want to maintain two files. I like to organize my file like this:
*** Days
- lunes :: Monday
- martes :: Tuesday
- miércoles :: Wednesday
- jueves :: Thursday
- viernes :: Friday
- sábado :: Saturday
- domingo :: Sunday
Is it possible to have org-drill realize that each side of the
description item is a side of a card, and that the closest headline is a
topic?
Thanks,
Rasmus

org-drill sets properties on each drill headline, to keep track of
your progress while learning that item. So, I'm not sure it would be
easy to do without maintaining two files.
One idea could be to have a function that creates (and updates/merges)
an org-drill file from the normal file that you use for export.
org-drill ships with functions [1] for merging two drill
files/buffers.
Paul, the author of org-drill, may have better ideas, though.

I see.

So, I see three approaches: (i) write an exporter, but this seems like
an overkill, or (ii) store the drill data separately; (iii) store data
in headlines for items.
I don't know how feasible this is as I'm not familiar with the
org-drill.el.
Thanks,
Rasmus
