Description

2025-10-01:This add-on is no longer maintained. Please consider the stand-alone python script LaTeX2Anki by the same author instead, which aims to make better use of some of Anki's inbuilt features: cloze deletions and dynamic page rendering based on screen size and user preferences (night mode). Moreover, decks created using LaTeX2Anki are much smaller in file size: while notes created using LaTeX-Note-Importer are essentially static images, notes created and shared using LaTeX2Anki are html based, with maths mixed in and rendered using Anki's built-in MathJax engine.

This add-on allows you import notes from LaTeX files, thus allowing you to create LaTeX-heavy Anki notes in your favourite editor.
