Usage¶
Fetch the meaning¶
If I would like to know what the meaning of search means in English,
I moved the cursor to c under search, and press F4
. The meaning
will popup up under the word, as shown below. I don’t have to switch
to a dictionary app and it won’t break my read-flow.
Also, as the echo area shows, the full meaning and also the full sentence will be added to the voca-file.
Here is a real example when I was reading an article.
Export by tags¶
It is useful when you want to group vocabularies and revise
them altogether, for example, all the biology terms. You can do it
using voca-builder/extract-by-tags
function. For example,
(voca-builder/extract-by-tags "Demo")
will export all the vocabularies that are tagged by “Demo” to ~/voca-builder-temp.org.
Export by date¶
You may also want to export all the new vocbaulary you learnt during
one particular period, like a semaster, an academic year using
voca-builder/extract-period
function. For example
(voca-builder/extract-period "2015-01-05" "2015-04-01")
will export all the vocabularies that are recorded between “2015-01-05” and “2014-04-01”.
Note you can combine these two function together.
