Description

     Add some colorful flair and structure to your tags! COMPATIBILITY NOTE Colorful Tags evolved from the Hierarchical Tags add-on. Its feature-set differs based on which Anki version you are using:
  • If you are using a modern Anki version (2.1.45+), which most likely you are: Hierarchical tags are supported out of the box and Colorful Tags just adds the ability to color and pin tags. As Anki's native tag hierarchies are used, the tag separator is hard-coded to ::
  • If you are using an older Anki version (2.1.44 and below): Colorful Tags adds support for tag hierarchies, but does not provide the ability to color and pin tags. If you would like that capability on older Anki versions, check out BetterTags. The tag separator can be customized on older Anki versions (2.1.40 and below).
USAGE Simply right-click a tag and then either click on Assign Color or Pin: LIMITATIONS
  • Modifying multiple tags at a time is not supported at the moment. If this is something you'd like, let me know and I'll look into it!
CHANGELOG Version 3.0.0 – 2022-09-15 Added
  • Ability to color and pin tags
  • Support for modern Anki versions, including 2.1.54+
Changed

Colorful Tags for Anki


Brings color and structure to your Anki tags

An add-on for the spaced-repetition flashcard app Anki that allows coloring and pinning your tags. On older Anki revisions that do not support tag hierarchies natively yet, the add-on also provides a hierarchical tags implementation.
