Tip

'{{printcard}}' puts printing instructions and a page break right above your first set of 6 cards. You only need that once. So it is in a separate template.

'==1-6==', '==7-12==', '==13-18==', '==19-24==', '==25-30==', '==31-36==', '==37-42==', '==43-48==', etc. -- put each group of 6 cards in its own Card6 template under a number range heading, to expedite navigating and editing your cards.

'{{' opens the Card6 template.

'|n|' type a number for each card; the number you type there will appear on the card's bottom right corner.

Type text of card under the card number.

Up to four, maybe five, double spaced lines will fit.

'}}' closes the template.
