Creating notes for gnosis can be done interactively with: ‘M-x
gnosis-add-note’
- Advanced/Power users may prefer to use ‘gnosis-add-note--TYPE’
-
- Example:
-
- (gnosis-add-note--basic :deck "DECK-NAME"
- :question "Your Question"
- :answer "Answer"
- :hint "hint"
- :extra "Explanation"
- :image "Image displayed before user-input" ;; Optional
- :second-image "Image displayed after user-input" ;; Optional
- :tags '("tag1" "tag2"))
-
- By default, the value of image and second image is nil. Their value
-must a string, the path of an image, from inside ‘gnosis-images-dir’.
-
- Each note type has a ‘gnosis-add-note-TYPE’ that is used
-interactively & a "hidden function" ‘gnosis-add-note--TYPE’ that handles
-all the logic.
-
- Every note type has these values in common:
-
- • ‘extra’ string value, extra information/explanation displayed after
- user-input
- • ‘image’ Image displayed _before_ user input
- • ‘second-image’ Image displayed _after_ user input
-
- The following sections will cover the important differences you have
-to know when creating new notes.
+ When it comes to adding images, you can select images that are inside
+‘gnosis-images-dir’. See more customization for *note Image Size: Image
+size.

- • First add your NEW-TYPE to ‘gnosis-note-types’
-
- (add-to-list 'gnosis-note-types 'new-type)
-
- • Create 2 functions; ‘gnosis-add-note-TYPE’ &
- ‘gnosis-add-note--TYPE’

- Each note type has a ‘gnosis-add-note-TYPE’ that is used
-interactively & a "hidden function" ‘gnosis-add-note--TYPE’ that handles
-all the logic.
-
- Refer to ‘gnosis-add-note-basic’ & ‘gnosis-add-note--basic’ for a
-simple example of how this is done.
-
- • Create ‘gnosis-review-TYPE’
-
- This function should handle the review process, displaying it's
-contents and updating the database depending on the result of the review
-(fail/pass). Refer to ‘gnosis-review-basic’ for an example of how this
-should be done.
-
- • Optionally, you might want to create your own custom
- ‘gnosis-display’ functions
