Merge Ankidown and Ankdown

[jay-pee]

Hi,

it's a little bit unusual request but I recently found the project ankidown. It can work with more difficult templates but has maybe some problems in parsing the markdown that ankdown doesn't have. Would be great if we could join forces between all who want to have a great tool for importing markdown into Anki. Please check it out. Hope you don't take it offensive.

Definitely not offended - thanks for the link! I'm open to potentially collaborating although tbh I have less time now than I did when I initially wrote this, so not promising anything.

From your perspective, is the main difference the support for pre-existing card templates?

[jay-pee]

Yes, the templates are pretty nice.
However another difference is that it can directly import in a Card format that is already used in Anki. I didn't really got into how to change format in Ankdown, but I think this is easier to handle it in Anki directly.
Unfortunately Ankidown is quite buggy in the Moment. Hope it's getting better.
