Creating Verb Flashcards

To create another flashcard, use the following template:

Verbs-.xml.gz

The fastest and perhaps the easiest way to fill in this template is edit it in a text editor supporting Unicode (UTF-8 in partucular).
Here's how I do it under Windows...

  • I use the free archiver 7-Zip to open the *.xml.gz files. When I open the .xml.gz file in the archiver and see the .xml file inside, I then can press F4 on it and have Notepad opened with this .xml file.
  • In Notepad I replace all asterisk pairs (**) with the verb's infinitive (press Ctrl+H for the Replace dialog, type **, type the verb, choose Replace All) and by doing that, most of the time I get the future and potential/conditional tenses for free because the conjugation in these tenses is basically adding something to the infinitive and that something is already inside the template. Watch out for irregularities in the future and conditional, though. There're verbs that still need manual work here.
  • After that I start replacing the remaining single asterisks (*) with the appropriate verb conjugations (press Ctrl+F for the Find dialog, type *, choose Find Next, quit the dialog - this will place the cursor to the first conjugation you need to fill in. Having done with this conjugation, pressing F3 moves us to the next asterisk to be replaced with another conjugation).
  • When all the asterisks in the .xml file are replaced by the appropriate conjugations, I quit Notepad saving the file. 7-Zip then asks me if I want to update the .xml.gz archive with the modified .xml file and I choose Yes. Then I leave the .xml.gz file in 7-Zip by stepping on the double-dot (..) above the .xml file or just close 7-Zip. The resulting .xml.gz file can now be inspected and corrected as needed in Pauker.
  • If you want the .xml.gz file under a different name than the template's, simply save the .xml.gz file from Pauker as something else preserving the .xml.gz file name extension. This will ensure a match of the archive name and the .xml file in it.
  • I don't recommend using characters with various diacritical marks in the file names (e.g. á, é, í, ó, ú, ü, ñ). Such names might get broken when transferring from one computer to another, and if you decide to upload files with such names to a website, you may find out that the website doesn't support such names either.
