Adds visual Browser layouts, tabs, zoom, explorer-style navigation, drag-and-drop organization, folder colours, and a grid-based note-type manager with counters, quick editors, nested folders, and JSON import/export.
Links Anki notes together via a custom link format, adding link panels, interactive graphs, and a global relationship graph.
Allows multiple independent {{type:}} fields on a single card, though it may be incompatible with other addons.
Renders Anki flashcards with enhanced markdown, LaTeX math, syntax highlighting, theme-aware styling, and interactive cloze toggles via React-based note types.
Speeds up saving and editing large note types, adding cards, changing note types, and deck reordering by only recomputing required data instead of unnecessary information.
Exports the back sides of selected cards to a standalone HTML file, preserving styling and images, ready for printing, sharing, archiving, or saving as PDF.
Changing a model may be a really long process. This can be partially solved using add-on ()[] (full disclosure: I also wrote it). As an example, I've got a note type with more than a hundred field and card type. Changing it without this add-on takes 7 minutes and a half while using this add-on, it takes only 3 minutes.
This change the result of the card generated in a few case. Most of them should either be improvement, or not occur in normal use of anki.
In a basic card, if you write "{{Back}}" in the Front field, you'll see the content of the back field where you should see the front field. This is because {{Back}} is found in the generated card and anki assumes it must be replaced by the value of the Back field.
This does not occur anymore. This add-ons ensure anki does all replacement in a single pass, instead of doing it iteratively. On a technical side, this is what allow the running time to be linear in the number of field instance instead of quadratic (product of length and of number of distinct field).
By default, anki allows at most a hundred field by card. This add-on remove this restriction. Thanks to the time improvement, this is actually not an important limit anymore.
A template such as
{{#Front}}{{#Back}} {{Front}}{{Back}}{{/Front}} {{/Back}}
is theoretically invalid. Indeed, you should cloze Back before Front since you opened it after Front. If you create a note with some value in Back and no value in Front, you'll see the message "{unknown field /Back}" (which is a really badly written error message). However, anki will still generate some content when you use this model. It is possible that the content generated with and without this add-on will differ.
This modify the following method, without calling the previous version.
Anki changed a lot in version 2.1.20. I am currently unable to understand those change, as they are in rust, and I don't know it. Furthermore, rules for card generation change, so it's possible that this add-on becomes useless. Anyway, until I know more about 2.1.20, this add-on won't be available with latest anki. As this add-on as only peen downloaded 63 times, I believe that's not a real trouble.
