What are "sets" (vs. multiple lines and lists)?

RemNote
#1

We have multiple lines with
::

and lists:
::1.

But in the special menu, you also find sets, which are not availalbe in the tool bar at the bottom:
::*.
It has some new icons and looks a bit different. But I don’t see any difference to the multiple lines.

Is this an ancient function or something totally new and awesome? What is the difference of a set to a multiple line? Why isn’t it availalble in the tool bar at the bottom, perhaps it will be discontinued?

So it might be a future feature? Or or was a previous idea which hasn’t been realized and now it lost importance…
I would love to get a confirmation, because I am creating a tutorial about RemNote and I saw this feature when I made a video about the special menu /

Here is the difference between set and list (IMO based on SuperMemo’s philosophy)

In set there is a specific order, i.e. you are supposed to recollect the items in the list in a specific order. While reviewing you will have to answer for one item from the list at a time.

For a set there is no specific order. While reviewing you will have to recollect everything in the list in a single shot. From learning standpoint, sets are the least preferred as they are more difficult to recall because of the lack of order.

In remnote, there used to be a content type called set and it is pretty much the as multi-line content type, but different from list. I think remnote team decided to remove the ‘set’ type since we already have multi-line type. I still see set in the / commands but I think it is just the remains of the actual feature.

Ok, thank you for your thoughts. Ok, then I will ignore it in my tutorial :slight_smile: However, I won’t lose hope that someday a super feature with these sets will be revealed :smiley:
