a(n) plugin
Simple anki plugin to not give away how a word starts when doing
fill-in-the-gap cards. Shows "a(n)" in the front and "a" or "an" in the back.
A word of warning: setting this up assumes familiarity with Anki and web technologies.
Usage
When the setup is done (read below), you use the a(n) toolbar button to select
what you want to see in the back (e.g. a)

Then you can complete the card.

And enjoy the result:

You can also download this sample card.
Setup
For the plugin to work you need to adapt the note type you want to use for
English clozes.
First, include this CSS by:
-
Go to the card browser and select one card of the note type you want to use
-
Click on Cards... > Styling
-
Add this:
.front-only {
display: show;
}
.answer .front-only {
display: none;
}
Then, you need to have the back template marked with class answer. To do so,
click in Back template and surround the content with:
<div class="answer">
... your template...
</div>
