Questions
Use the marker to indicate that your note contains a question.
Notes marked as question will stand out in the notifications that yours friends receive, and they filtered as questions in the community section. Once you get satisfied with the answers mark your note as resolved, you can always reopen it later.
Two icons reflect the status of a questions. This square shows that the note contains an unresolved question, and it is replaced by this tick once it has been answered.
About the markup:
Currently we are experiencing problems with the markup parser (textile) and it might have a bogus behaviour. We are planning on changing that soon to offer a more concise and semantic syntax, but go ahead and use textile, we will take care of your old notes and migrate them (and it will a painfully slow task, but we'll do it :)
Here is a small reference to the system as it is right now:
markup reference
first line → title ∗bold∗ → bold _italic_ → italic "wolty":http://wolty.com → wolty Keyboard navigation:
You can use the arrows keys to navigate throuhg any notebook (even in the community notes) and when in slideshow mode

Cards reference:
Cards
Cards are designed to test your knowledge and help you learn your notebook for good
Cards are the elements used during reviews. Based on the principles of the spaced time repetition effect we have design an algorithm to help you in the process of learning.
Cards are attached to a note and related to a term. Once you have created your note simply click in add card and fill in the fields. Take a look at the example below.
Terms
Use terms to highlight the relevant keywords in a note.
The term in a note is usually the word or expression that you looked up in the dictionary. Remember that one note can have as many terms as you want.
To create one simply put a word between [square brackets] and it will become a term making it searchable along Wolty and testable through cards (and so many other awesome features we haven't started developing yet : ).
In this example the word house is the relevant term of the note
Expired Cards
Your goal is to keep them at zero!
Expired cards are those that the system estimates that you are about to forget (or that you have already forgotten), so you should keep reviewing while you have expired cards.
The more you review a card the longer it will take for it to get expired.
