Anki CodeDiffer

Add-on for Anki SRC. It allows you to create cards with interactive input. Also it uses differ to visualize how your input is different from correct answer.

When to use?

How to use?

For example, you can copy/paste some code samples from MDN:

Then you try to input the correct solution on the Question side:

... and then you can check how close your solution is to the right answer:

Tags [diff][/diff] and [diff-answ][/diff-answ] can be added manually or by editor's buttons.

• [diff lang='sql' theme='solarized_dark'][/diff] is used to to let add-on figure where to insert code editor, and with which settings;
• [diff-answ][/diff-answ] is used to to let add-on figure which part of the answer should be used as "correct answer" in code differ.
