Description

This add-on was developed to bring the Markdown functionality provided by Power Format Pack to Anki 2.1. It is not a port of Power Format Pack, nor is it backwards compatible with fields generated by Power Format Pack. Note: a lot of the other functionality provided by Power Format Pack is available between Mini Format Pack, Add Table, and, Add Hyperlink. See github.com to contribute. There are two ways to use this add-on: automatic mode and manual mode. Editing of the generated HTML is prevented in both cases. Automatic mode To indicate that a field should be automatically converted to and from HTML when losing and gaining focus, go to Tools -> Manage Note Types -> Fields for the note type in question and click the checkbox: Automatic mode demo: Manual mode In this mode, you toggle between Markdown and HTML using the button or its shortcut. The shortcut defaults to Ctrl + M and can be changed in the configuration. Manual mode demo: HISTORY
  • 18/06/19 - fix automatic mode error
  • 30/04/19 - prevent editing of generated HTML
  • 17/04/19 - fix empty markdown issue
  • 03/11/18 - add fix for nested lists
  • 01/11/18 - initial release

README

To-do

Better implementation of fields.py

Current code is incompatible with other add-ons.

Possible Features

Convert-all to Markdown button

Have convert-all-to and convert-all-from buttons to allow easier adoptation and prevent lock-in.

Field should be auto markdown by convention

Allow setting of custom field name suffix, e.g. "mkd", to indicate that the field should be auto markdown.
