Basic Cloze Cards

With Single & Multiline Cards the text of both the front and back of each card is specified.

With cloze cards a single text is specified, together with an identification of which parts of the text should be obscured.

The front of the card is displayed as the text with (one or more) cloze deletions obscured.

Cloze Deletions

A part of the card text is identified as a cloze deletion by surrounding it with the cloze delimiter.

Single Cloze Deletion

By default, the cloze delimiter is ==, and a simple cloze card would be:

The first female prime minister of Australia was ==Julia Gillard==

Displayed when reviewed

Initial View

The first female prime minister of Australia was [...]

After Show Answer Clicked

The first female prime minister of Australia was Julia Gillard

Multiple Cloze Deletions

If the card text identifies multiple parts as cloze deletions, then multiple cards will be shown for review, each one occluding one deletion, while leaving the other deletions visible.

For instance, the following note:

The first female ==prime minister== of Australia was ==Julia Gillard==

Card 1 Initial View

The first female [...] of Australia was Julia Gillard

Card 2 Initial View

The first female prime minister of Australia was [...]

After Show Answer Clicked (same for both cards)

The first female prime minister of Australia was Julia Gillard

These two cards are considered sibling cards. See sibling cards regarding the Bury sibling cards until the next day scheduling option.

Cloze Delimiter

The cloze delimiter can be modified in settings, e.g. to **, or curly braces {{text in curly braces}}.
