Combining flashcards and Zettelkasten has been a match made in heaven. I should end this by noting that I am a long time user of flashcards, so I draw on some experience with regard to my choice of conventions. For example, I have formats for synonym lists and abbreviations, which both render nicely and generate appropriately formatted flashcards. This choice of using "microformats" for the flashcards has allowed me to make custom formats for certain "classes" for flashcards. Plus, it allows me to render it in the view of the note and hide all the metadata. I opted for an XML/HTML-based format for the flashcards - this might seem overly cumbersome to some, but I really like the flexibility and robustness that it offers. This is really helpful and important for lowering friction. I have templates ready for pasting into notes, whenever I need to use them. I think it works quite well within the flow. The 📗-emoji is used to signify a flashcard and the slanted text are the cloze deletions. For example, here is an example, where I show how it works within a complete note: However, it does take a bit of massaging of the wording to make sure that the cloze works well both in the flashcard and in the context of the note. I think I prefer this, since it is flexible and works very well in the context of notes. I use cloze deletions a lot more than previously. I've share this project on the forum previously, but I'll tell a little about my experience hence.
The solution is also very much a "me" solution in that it caters to my needs and preferences.
I felt that this connection was so important that I wrote my own tool/software to handle it the way I wanted it to. I have a quite tight integration between my Zettelkasten (ZK) and my flashcards (Anki).
