Description

Ritornello

Explore all Ritornello decks and add-ons.

Turn a URL in an Anki note into a resizable embedded web view.

See it in Anki

Create an embed from a URL

Type and select a Wikipedia URL, choose Create Embed from URL, and see the page load inside the note field

Select a raw URL or right-click an existing link, then choose Create Embed from URL. The selected URL is replaced by an embedded web page inside the note.

Resize its width and height

Use four width and two height toolbar actions while the complete iframe stays visible inside the editor field

Use Wβˆ’ / W+ and Hβˆ’ / H+ for quick adjustments, or Size… for exact dimensions. The example reduces the embed from 1058 Γ— 480 to 738 Γ— 360 pixels, with the full frame visible throughout. The toolbar also lets you add space above or below the embed, or remove it.

These actions work in the regular note editor and Browser editor.

New in 0.2.1

Selected URLs now become embeds inside modern Anki's editable note fields, so the embedded page saves correctly with the note.

Requires Anki 25.09 or newer. Embedded URLs are stored in note HTML and may sync with your collection. Some sites block iframe embedding.

Turn a link in an Anki note into a tidy, resizable web view.

AnkiWeb add-on 1522170627 Anki 25.09+ Python 3.10+ License: MIT

Web Embed Tools adds a small editor workflow for placing web pages directly in Anki note fields. It keeps the stored HTML simple, while the editor provides a floating toolbar for choosing and resizing an embed.

Version 0.2.1 is published with a fix for selected-URL insertion in modern Anki editors. AnkiWeb installs update automatically; GitHub file installs require a manual update.

Install

Requires Anki 25.09 or newer.

  1. Install it from AnkiWeb, or download web_embed_tools.ankiaddon from the latest release.
  2. In Anki, open Tools β†’ Add-ons β†’ Install from file… and select it.
  3. Restart Anki.

Use

  • Select a raw http(s) URL, or right-click an existing link.
  • Choose Create Embed from URL.
  • Select the embed to resize it, set an exact size, add a blank line above or below it, or remove it.

The same controls work in the regular Add/Edit dialog and the Browser editor.

A small privacy and safety note

An embedded URL is stored in your note HTML and therefore may sync with the collection. The external page loads when its card or editor is displayed, so embed only sites you trust. Some sites intentionally block iframe embedding; that is expected and cannot be changed by this add-on.

What is included

  • Selected-URL and clicked-link conversion.
  • Live editor embeds with practical resize controls.
  • Canonical, portable field HTML that preserves the chosen size.
  • A disposable Anki GUI smoke test for the editor hook.

Wikipedia search and Browser-wide bulk conversion are not part of this release.

Development

Only needed when working on the add-on itself:

make check
make package
make smoke

make smoke uses anki-addon-workbench and a disposable profile; it never opens your everyday Anki collection.

The supporting design notes live in PLAN.md, TECHNICAL_DESIGN.md, and BACKLOG.md.
