Excluding Portions of Text from Memorization
planned
Ebolamerican X
I really need a way to exclude portions of text from the memorization exercise. One similar app (MemoryPie) does this for any text that is placed inside double curly brackets {{like this text}}. Another app (MemoCoach) does this for individual lines in the text if the line starts with three forward slashes ///. Either of these would be acceptable for my purposes, although I would prefer the double curly brackets approach. Thank you for your consideration!

only block out lines for one character

I am using this app to memorize lines from a script, but want to be prompted with the other person's lines (it is me and one other person). I was wondering if there was a feature to allow the app to not block out or only use the games on one person's lines instead of doing the whole script.

Ignore/don’t test on certain text
Hey guys,
I’m wondering if it would be possible to add text that we don’t want to necessarily memorise? For example when memorising lines for theatre I may not want to learn word for word another actors lines but simply be prompted with their line so I can commit to memory my line. Perhaps with an asterisk or something:
* Text to not test me on because it’s someone else’s line.
Text to test me on because it’s my line.
Thanks!

I realize others have asked for this feature in some form or another, typically in the context of learning lines for scripts. I would prefer the flexibility of being able to exclude any portion of text, including portions that are less than an entire line, like a single word or phrase.

I get this request often enough from actors wanting to learn script lines that I should look into this. The problem is, I’m not sure what most script texts look like as I’ve never acted in my life. Could you upload one here or send it to dailycodechallenge@gmail.com?
I could do something text parsing like asterisks, but I’d rather avoid parsing if I could because asterisks could genuinely exist in someone’s text.
I think I’d rather do different “types” of text when adding one. “Normal”, “script/actor lines”, “lyrics”, etc. This would leave room to do future things like flash cards, images, etc where the formatting changes based on the type of memorization
