Description

A tool for Anki user to import / export CSS and card templates of all note types. Functions & Things to notice

Export: choose the directory as the destination for export
- Each note type has its own folder, containing the CSS and templates of all cards.
- Each template file is named after the card, containing both the front & back templates.
- The front & back templates are separated by the configurable delimiter.
Import: choose the directory as the source for import
- Each folder in the chosen directory will be regarded as each individual note type to be imported, matched by the name of the folder.
- Folders or template files without corresponding note types or cards in Anki will be ignored. The add-on won't create note types and cards as a result. Therefore, importing the directory which was exported earlier is recommended.
- An extra CSS file can be present in the source directory (compared to what Export outputs), regarded as the global CSS. When the CSS file is missing under a note type folder, the global CSS will be used if present. The behavior when both are present is configurable.
Configure: some configurable settings in JSON format
- delimiter between front and back template: the demimiter for separating front & back templates in each card. Default: ```<br> (<br> is line break)
- CSS file name: the filename for all CSS files. Default: style.css
- insert global CSS before individual ones of all note types: if true, global CSS file will be inserted before each note type's CSS file. Otherwise, global CSS will be ignored if there is a CSS file for the note type. Default: false
- filename extensions for card template files: an empty string "" for no extension. An alternative might be ".html". Default: ""
