Designing a text file for flaschard import

Hello everyone,

I've been using Pleco for some months now, and it's been great.

Now, I wish to design my own cards with my definitions, because sometimes I find the definitions provided by the dictionaries to be too thorough. But I have a problem when it comes to writing the text file. I did some research on this this website and forums, but all I could find was the basic formula: word <tab> pinyin <tab> definition.

How can I add multi-lined definitions, like the ones used in the dictionaries ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Askherion,

I found these on the forums for custom / user dictionary but I'm guessing they should work the same for flashcards:

Pleco dictionary formatting special codes (unofficial, subject to change) [private use Unicode]:
---
EAB1 = new line
EAB2/EAB3 = bold
EAB4/EAB5 = italic
EAB8/EABB = "copy-whatever's-in-this-to-the-Input-Field hyperlinks"
coloured text:
"EAC1 followed by two characters with the highest-order bit 1 and the lowest-order 12 bits representing the first/second halves of a 24-bit RGB color value to start the range, EAC2 to end. So to render a character in green, for example, you'd want EAC1 800F 8F00, then the character, then EAC2."
