## Example Usage

### Convert folder of markdown files

This is the simplest way to use the script:

```
node index.ts -p "test"
```

- the `-p` argument (markdown folder location) is the only requirement to run the script
- Ankify will default to first user found in Anki profile folder
- Images under the given folder will be copied to Anki's media folder
- default card left and card right will be used

### Different Anki User

Use `-l` option to find existing users in Anki profile folder:
```
node index.ts -l
```

Then use different user for conversion:
```
node index.ts -u "User 2" -p "test"
```

### Using Different Image Folder

Sometimes your image folder is in a different place than the markdown folder. For example, in Obsidian, the attachment folder is in the root folder, where as your markdown folder needed to convert could be anywhere in the vault. In this case, you can specify the image folder separate from the markdown folder:

```
node index.ts -i "Attachments" -p "Test"
```
