Print Cards for Reading
Export your cards β a whole deck or just your Browser selection β to a file you can print or read offline, in HTML, CSV or Markdown.
A modernised fork of Basic Printing Support (1025789669), fixed to work on current Anki versions and extended with new formats and options.
Features
- Print the current deck (with optional position range and tag filter) or the Browser selection (context menu, Tools menu, or Shift+P)
- 3 export formats: HTML print grid (configurable cards per row), CSV (UTF-8 with BOM, opens cleanly in Excel), Markdown (table or bullet list)
- Choose what to export: question side, answer side, or both β cloze cards now display correctly (the classic add-on only exported the answer side)
- Sort by sort field (classic) or by date added
- Configurable output folder (Desktop/Documents/custom path) and filename templates with {deck} {date} {time} {timestamp} placeholders
- Open-after-export toggle, optional MathJax support and custom CSS for HTML exports
- English and Spanish interface (follows Anki's language, or force it in the config)
- Fixes the QStandardPaths crash that broke the original add-on on newer Anki versions (Qt 6.6+)
