[O] [org-drill] understand description-lists
Hi, I would like to use org-drill to train my Spanish vocabulary. However, it's essential that I can also export my file for offline-review. I don't want to maintain two files. I like to organize my file like this: *** Days - lunes :: Monday - martes:: Tuesday - miércoles :: Wednesday - jueves:: Thursday - viernes :: Friday - sábado:: Saturday - domingo :: Sunday Is it possible to have org-drill realize that each side of the description item is a side of a card, and that the closest headline is a topic? Thanks, Rasmus -- If you can mix business and politics wonderful things can happen!

So, I'm not sure it would be easy to do without maintaining two files. One idea could be to have a function that creates (and updates/merges) an org-drill file from the normal file that you use for export. org-drill ships with functions [1] for merging two drill files/buffers. Paul, the author of org-drill, may have better ideas, though. [1] - http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-drill.html#sec-11 -- Puneeth

So, I'm not sure it would be easy to do without maintaining two files. I see. One idea could be to have a function that creates (and updates/merges) an org-drill file from the normal file that you use for export. org-drill ships with functions [1] for merging two drill files/buffers. So, I see three approaches: (i) write an exporter, but this seems like an overkill, or (ii) store the drill data separately; (iii) store data in headlines for items. I don't know how feasible this is as I'm not familiar with the org-drill.el. Thanks, Rasmus -- Dobbelt-A
