Description

What it does

Automatically removes empty bullet markers (<li></li>) that appear when copying and pasting bulleted lists or rich text into Anki fields (especially beneath images or pre-existing lines).

Problem it solves

When copying structured text from browsers, LLMs, or note editors, Anki often creates an orphaned, empty bullet point on top of the pasted list or leaves unwanted empty <li> tags. This add-on automatically detects and deletes empty bullet tags in the background:

  • When adding new notes (Ctrl + Enter)
  • When editing cards in the Browser upon leaving the field

Features

  • Zero configuration: Works immediately upon install.
  • Safe: Preserves your images, formatting, and all bullet points that actually contain text.
  • Lightweight: Pure hook-based execution with zero performance overhead.
