Bullet Point and Numbered List Converter for Anki
Hi there! I made this little Anki addon to solve a simple problem I had.
Sometimes, I just want to quickly paste a simple list into the Anki editor, using hyphens (-) for bullet points or numbers (1., 2., etc.) for a numbered list. Anki's editor doesn't automatically turn this into a nicely formatted HTML list, so it can look a bit messy on the final flashcard.
This addon fixes that.
What it does
It adds a new button to the Anki editor toolbar (and a handy shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+B).
When you select a block of text that's formatted as a simple list, you can either click the button or use the shortcut, and the addon will instantly convert it into a proper HTML <ul> (for bullet points) or <ol> (for numbered lists) list.
This means your lists will look clean, organized, and properly indented on your flashcards.
How to use it
- Type or paste a list into the Anki editor. Use
- for each bullet point or 1., 2., etc., for a numbered list.
- select the field where the you pasted it in step 1.
- Click the new "Convert List" button in the toolbar or press
Ctrl+Shift+B.
- That's it! Your list is now beautifully formatted.
I hope you find it as useful as I do! (vibecoded w gemini)
