Hi there,

as a long-time user of one of the spaced repetition systems, I decided
to (finally) give org-drill a try.  I want to enhance my English
vocabulary with it.  Do you have any suggestions as far as (1) the
structuring of the drill file and (2) speeding up the entering words in the
database process?

Re (1): I started with this:

* Random words
** 							      :drill:
determined not to change your mind or to be persuaded about something
*** 
adamant

with a space after `***' so that it is recognized as a heading.  Empty
headings look strange, though; are there any good ideas about what
I could put in them?

Re (2): I could come up with a YASnippet or maybe an org-capture
template; does anyone have a ready-made solution for that so that
I don't reinvent the wheel?

TIA,

--

Dear Marcin,

with org-drill-hide-item-headings-p set to t the heading text is
irrelevant to me. I use this capture template:

     ("v" "Vocabulary Item" entry
         (file "~/path/to/vocabulary.org")
         "* Drill :drill:\n:PROPERTIES:\n:DRILL_CARD_TYPE: twosided\n:END:\n** Item\n%^{New Item}\n** Explanation\n%^{Explanation}")

Notice that I use the twosided cardtype.
