@Klaas Ah I can see how that would be confusing. So for me, notes =/=.md file - notes are the actual text/images inside a file.
By ‘file’, I mean actual .md file.
So, as an example:
GLOBAL TAGS
Literature Philosophy
START
Basic
This is a test
Back: Test successful!
Tags: Test
END
If you pasted that into a file, and saved it, and then ran the script over it, it would add a single ‘Basic’ note into Anki, with the tags “Literature”, “Philosophy” and “Test”, even though you only specified the “Test” tag inside the note itself.
Sorry, it’s probably extra confusing because Anki gives almost a third meaning to ‘note’, since cards are generated from notes!
So, to summarise:
- For you, a ‘note’ is a
.mdfile - For me, a ‘note’ is a piece of text inside a file about a topic (which might be formatted appropriately for Anki, or outside separately)
- For Anki, a ‘note’ is something from which cards are generated, according to your template for that note type
