Importing Q/A and learning progress from Supermemo2006

Asked by Sergey

Is there a way to proper import Q/A and learning progress from Supermemo2006?

I tried to export as XML from supermemo2006. But as I was trying to import in back to Mnemosyne the "ok" button just didnt do anything.

Did you follow the guide here: http://www.mnemosyne-proj.org/help/importing.php

Do you have the latest version?

If you are under Windows, uninstalling and reinstalling could sometimes help.

Yes I have the latest version.
If I export from supermemo 2006 and allow HTML, Mnemosyne doesnt comprehend HTML at all:

<FONT face=Arial color=#080000>notoriously</FONT></P><P>they're notoriously difficult to terminate.

If I export as plain text, without HTML, special characters are all screwed up.

About the html tags, that has been discussed in the mailing list a while ago. If you do a search and replace of &lt; with < and of &gt; with >, they won't show up when you review the cards.

Granted, it's not ideal, but unless someone comes along and writes a better importer, that is the situation at the moment.

There no &lt; and &gt;

Example:

Q: <FONT face=Arial color=#080000>Bezeugung</FONT><P><FONT face=Arial color=#080000>&nbsp;A declaration by a witness</FONT>
A: <FONT face=Arial color=#080000>testimony</FONT></P><FONT face=Arial color=#080000><P><FONT face=Arial color=#080000></FONT>&nbsp;</P></FONT>

Q: gutgl&#228;ubig...</P><P>Made or carried out in good faith </P><P>&nbsp;
A: <FONT face=Arial color=#080000><P>bona fide</FONT>

I did see them in your second message, so I guess it must have been something this site did to your message.

But as I already mentioned, the SM importer could use some tender loving care.

Can you help with this problem?

Provide an answer of your own, or ask Sergey for more information if necessary.
