Like: ''<card>'John Fitzgerald''' "'''Jack'''" '''Kennedy''' (May 29, 1917 – November 22, 1963), often referred to by his initials '''JFK''', was the [[List of Presidents of the United States|35th]] [[President of the United States]]</card>, serving from 1961 until [[Assassination of John F. Kennedy|his death]] in 1963. (note the "card" markup tags) This way you could update the card content together with article so that you would ensure it's synced On Sun, Apr 7, 2013 at 6:05 PM, Petr Bena <[email protected]> wrote: > On first sight I was like WTF is he proposing. > > Then I read your proposal and it sounds very nice.
