Obsidian Integration - Currently, this only includes a link to the file that made the flashcard, appended to the first field of your card.

Regex - Using regular expressions, add custom syntax to generate notes that make sense for you. Some examples:

RemNote single-line style. This is how to use::Remnote single-line style
Header paragraph style.

# Style
This style is suitable for having the header as the front, and the answer as the back

Question answer style.

Q: How do you use this style?
A: Just like this.

Neuracache #flashcard style.

In Neuracache style, to make a flashcard you do #flashcard
The next lines then become the back of the flashcard

Ruled style

How do you use ruled style?
---
You need at least three '-' between the front and back of the card.

Markdown table style

| Why might this style be useful? |
| ------ |
| It looks nice when rendered as HTML in a markdown editor. |

Cloze paragraph style

The idea of {cloze paragraph style} is to be able to recognise any paragraphs that contain {cloze deletions}.

Note that all custom syntax is off by default, and must be programmed into the script via the config file - see Custom syntax for instructions.

History of script development

However, you don't need to have your notes be files of flashcards to use this script! You just need to be fine with visibly embedding flashcards in your notes, and keeping them there for future reference/editing. The script will ignore anything it doesn't think is a flashcard, so you're free to add context/information not needed for Anki to your notes.

By default, the script adds to the current profile in Anki.
