Add distinctive highlight-based clozing
Based on #118 I've been using this plugin for months and this has been my biggest gripe up until now — I'm sure this change will help save countless hours of Clozing :)
Hey @voctory
From my understanding, with these changes, the plugin will create multiple Anki cards if a given line has multiple clozes, right? Could you clarify further?
@ivyraine Exactly, on the condition that the multiple clozes are highlight clozes. More specific clozing (e.g. matching up {1:pairs} of {1:keywords}) to a single cloze is still possible through the curly bracket syntax
Some examples:
As this is a breaking change it shouldn't simply be merged into main
.
Otherwise the decks of the users who used this plugin "as-is" would be a complete mess after this merge/update.
There should be at least a configuration setting for the plugin, giving the users the option to choose how multiple ==
clozes should be treated.
Another idea could be to add a specific tag for this, like #anki-multicloze
and #anki/multicloze
, which would tell the parser to treat each ==
cloze as individual cloze.
@putzwasser is right, this is a breaking change. I'd like to +1 the configuration setting recommendation. @voctory could you add that?
The (additional?) #anki-multicloze
solution would give users even more flexibility. Instead of deciding, which "format" they'd need/wanted to use they could just use the tag.
The tag could be an indicator to reverse the setting. So, if multiple distinct clozes
is turned on #anki-multicloze
would enable the user to simply use ==
instead of the (more tedious) {1:first} and {1:second} cloze
. If multiple distinct clozes
is turned off, anki-multicloze
would make each ==
cloze into separate distinct clozes (==first== and ==second== cloze #anki-multicloze
turning into {{1:first}} and {{2:second}} cloze
anki card).
