Title cards, reverse cards & per-card tags

Beyond the four main formats, DecksMD has three smaller features for shaping your cards.

Set Title as the header level in your profile to use the filename as the front and the entire file as the back. This is handy for one-note-one-concept vaults where each file is a single idea.

Add reverse: true to a file’s frontmatter to auto-generate a reversed copy of every card in that file (back becomes front). Progress is tracked separately per direction, so the two directions schedule independently.

tags: [decks/spanish]
reverse: true

## Hola
Hello.

This creates both “Hola → Hello” and “Hello → Hola”.

Add #tag directly inside a header to tag an individual card:

## What is photosynthesis? #plants #high-school
The process plants use to convert sunlight into energy.
  • Tags are stripped from the displayed front and shown as chips during review.
  • They’re inherited by table rows and reverse cards.
  • Use them to build filter (“custom”) decks that pull every card with a given tag across your whole vault — see Custom decks.
