Description

NOTE: This version no longer works with the latest Anki with no current plans to fix it due to extensive changes in how the internals of Anki that this plugin relies on. I am currently using https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1087328706 with some success. This is a fix version of the excellent addon by @gregorr with bugfixes to work with the latest stable Anki (including native Night Mode). See Github to contribute. Recent changelog (for full changelog see here: 2020-12-06 2020-09-12
  • Changed markdown to use html as the source. This enables formatting and images to be preserved when converting to markdown (see #4). Any problems, raise issues here
2020-09-05 2020-08-15
  • Adds better support for Night Mode. (Fixes #20)
--- 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

This plugin is officially retired (unless someone else picks it up) as from Anki 2.1.50+ the internals of Anki have changed and this plugin no longer functions. Anyone is free to fork and continue this plugin in any way.

Auto Markdown

This is a fork of the excellent markdown plugin by @gregorrr. The purpose of this fork is to maintain bugfixes and keep up to date with changes in Anki.

There are no current plans to add new features.

QA testing

In leiu of good automated testing for Anki plugins, the following things should be checked when preparing a release:

  • Fields in the editor can be toggled with Ctrl + m
  • Enabling auto markdown on fields can be done in Note Types (Ctrl + Shift + n) > press Fields button
  • Enabling auto markdown on fields can be done in Note Types (Ctrl + Shift + n) > press Fields button with a new card type

Original README file.

Source for the Auto Markdown Anki add-on.

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.
