Hello everybody,
I have been using Anki flashcards for some time now, but I would like to use Pleco instead from now on. Indeed the ability to search a character or a word from within a flashcard is a major advantage.
But in the process of importing my cards I came up with a few problems.
First of all, I have understood from the Pleco manual that Pleco can fill the pinyin for you if you do not provide this information in the txt file to import. But despite my numerous tries I cannot do it. Does somebody knows something about this issue ?
[in fact I have no pinyin in my file because the exported file from anki, export the pinyin with diacritical signs and the colors associated with it : basically a lot of brackets and numbers. Correcting that to Pleco friendly pinyin for hundreds of cards could take weeks]
Secondly I would like Pleco to color the characters in the entries of my flashcards according to their tones, juste like it does in its dictionnaries. It that possible ?
Last but not least (this seems indeed quite important to me), is there a way to add examples in the flashcards and to "mark" them so that they appear only when you show the answer of the flashcard. I have already noted that when a card comes from a dictionary the examples does not show (and I regret it because examples are so important to know in which context a word can be used) but if I convert the card to a customised one the examples always shows which is not optimal because it gives you hints on the answers.
Thanks in advance for your answers, this would make it really easier (actually doable...)
