Allow faster markup of some common formatting for cards entered from
dictionary entries:
[text] becomes [text]
{text} becomes (text)

Shortcuts for italics and bold that are easier to type than html:
_text_ becomes text
*text* becomes text

Shortcuts for colours that are easier to type:
`text` gives red
``text`` gives gray
#text# gives blue
##text## gives green

Unformatted versions of the various symbols can be entered by adding a preceding backslash, for example \#, \`, \_, \*.

Some ideas for more shortcuts:

• change the font for special characters
• include commonly used images
