Suggestions
- Extend to include:
- front image = ...
- add clever functionality to handle this. For example,
- if "card front = image only" then exclude the front text
- if "card front = <one of the other parameters>" then make it so, etc.
- ...
- Multilingual extension - e.g. front shows a word and selection of languages to pick for translation, etc.
- Fix the examples on this page e.g. supply correct sound files.
- ... please add ...
