> how to make up a cloze in ordinary note

- notes won't be deem as duplicate if they have different types

- you can put different cards into different deck when a new note is generated.command + enter seems to equal to confirm, enter or close tag

- a tag means the relationship between these notes

- the way to organize those tags is totally the same as organizing your big data, like Evernote, or omnifocus. First you might need a place for inbox, if you don't know how to categorize the material you have to deal with. Second, once these material  accumulates to a certain amount, it is definitely easy for you to find out the rules among them.

### card type

- each note created, anki will create a card for each card type

## adding material

### shared decks

- take them as supplement not a basic

People shared their collections on the Internet based on their own studying process, completely different from yours. So the first thing you need to forget is that, the cards they create will suit you much. The second problem is that as uploaders have already study outside anki based on textbooks or teacher, they will make no effort to add the background information to the cards and only pick what they are not familiar with into these collection.

### proper use of a deck

- no recognizable order

please do not categorize a lot in your decks. If you create a deck named Harry Potter, you'll see a recognizable order which must weaken your memorize. You won't meet such luxury hints while reading or communicating in the real world, so pretend you are outside of your computer or anki, and review them randomly.

- creat a special deck in emergency

Normally ordinarily notes should all be in the same deck, which help reduce the order-hints. However, in some of the special occasions, like a test or trying to clean the backlog, you are recommended to create a new deck to field this special occasion. You know what need to do, then let's talk about how.  Here comes the tags and the powerful filter.

## studying

### display order

- priority

->123>~>abc>中文

### siblings and burying

- a gap between two cards of the same note

If one card is in learning state, the other card of the same note in review/ new state will be buried.
