Improvement: option to disable html formatting about org_to_anki HOT 5 CLOSED

I get your line of thinking but I don't really think it fits in with the way I see the application evolving long term tbh. I kinda like the idea of being able to specify everything in the markdown of the document with default options as they currently are. The benefit of this would be that the same file should always parse to the same result. At the same time there is something to be said for adding functionality to verify a file parses as you expect to help with debugging!

When you convert the list of question answers to format them for Anki you need to format the as an html list. Remove the <li> tags in this case would end up just leaving you with a badly formatted HTML list.

This enhancement overall isn't really that complicated to do but I'm not sure when I can actually finish it but should be much quicker then #27. That one will require a bit of refactoring and test updating!

Thanks for you input and I will try and get this one done this weekend when I have some free time!

@sandersantema just an update. Won't make any progress on either issue till next weekend but will finish them then!

What might be a better overall solution (I think at least more versatile) is to break up the commandline tool in a converter and importer, where the converter would output to stdout and the importer would take input from stdin allowing for usage of for instance sed in between. Say for instance you don't want the answer formatted as a bullet point list and ota would be shorthand for org_to_anki then the command would be:

ota -o <file> | sed 's/\<li\>//g' | sed 's/\<\/li\>//g' | ota -i

The sed part could probably be done with one command but I hope you get the idea.

No hurry!

@sandersantema

I decided to go with list instead formatting as it was slightly less generic for the list usecase

I'm already regretting using type instead of noteType but would prefer to avoid breaking changes at this point.
