Card Style Housekeeping

Some housekeeping on card styles:

#Bullet points vs numbering

Let’s try to avoid or minimize the use of numbered lists unless the numbering itself represents some relationship between items, such as a sequential process. Bullet points help to align list contents while limiting the injection of arbitrary information into memorization.

#Arrows!

Adding in arrows to cards is a reasonable way to streamline review and facilitate correlating text with images’ findings of interest. You may have noticed new text with the “Color →” format, and this is the current style going forward. We’ll use the name of the color and color formatting for ease of reading since arrows are small and it may be different to pick up the color depending on how one styles their own cards.

In order to add these arrows yourself, open up the HTML mode of the editor by clicking on the double bracket <> icon in the top left next to the field of interest. This will bring up the HTML editor below the field, where you can paste in the corresponding code. Colors will be limited to the palette used below for now. Using &nbsp; between the color and → sign keeps the words from being separated by line breaks.

Yellow double arrows: <span style="color: rgb(255, 242, 0);">yellow&nbsp;⇉</span>
Yellow single arrow: <span style="color: rgb(255, 242, 0);">yellow&nbsp;→</span>

Red double arrows: <span style="color: rgb(210, 35, 41);">red&nbsp;⇉</span>
Red single arrow: <span style="color: rgb(210, 35, 41);">red&nbsp;→</span>

Blue double arrows: <span style="color: rgb(0, 174, 239);">blue&nbsp;⇉</span>
Blue single arrow: <span style="color: rgb(0, 174, 239);">blue&nbsp;→</span>

Green double arrows: <span style="color: rgb(64, 173, 73);">green&nbsp;⇉</span>
Green single arrow: <span style="color: rgb(64, 173, 73);">green&nbsp;→</span>

#Radiopedia case IDs

If you do want to augment cards with Radiopedia case images, please consider adding the case ID under the image/text. This makes it easier for people to search Radiopedia for the case and actually scroll through images or read the full article. Case IDs can be found when you click the “down cloud” icon next to case images, and there is even a way to credit the submitting author with a hyperlink to the case which can be inserted in the HTML editor.

Plaintext version:

rID: 8110

HTML version:
