Hey Alec! Great tips! Is there any keyboard short cut to make text bold in Anki?

Thanks!

In reply to Phuong.

Hi Phuong,

Thank you so much for your message. aText, as just a text expander, basically allows you to copy in whatever text you would like into Anki. Anki will recognize all of the basic symbols like alpha, beta, delta, as well as arrows, etc. but instead of having to copy them from somewhere else, you can set aText up to insert those terms for you. Does this make sense?

How do you use aText’s symbols in conjunction with Anki? Did you copy and paste it?

In reply to lee. Haha, thanks, Lee. But honestly, it's not my brain. I honestly believe that ANYONE can accomplish this - it's just a matter of doing one's best to understand everything from the pathogenesis to the presentation, then making sure that you never forget it by making good cards and then doing spaced repetition.
