While writing the documentation I realized that the default templates were
somewhat overwhelming. So I've moved the default settings into the card css,
and moved the css into a separate attribute which gets combined with the
question and answer templates.
Also:
- Detect cloze references directly rather than the conditional wrapper
- Add the cloze css to the template
Previously {{field}} wrapped the field in a span with the field's font
properties. This wasn't obvious, and caused frequent problems with people
trying to combine field and template text, or use field content in dictionary
links.
Now that AnkiWeb has a wizard for configuring the front & back layout, we can
just put the formatting in the template instead.
Previously cloze deletions were handled by copying the contents of one field
into another and applying transforms to it. This had a number of problems:
- after you add a card, you can't undo the cloze deletion
- if you spot a mistake, you have to edit it twice (or more if you have more
than one cloze for a sentence)
- making multiple clozes requires copying & pasting the sentence multiple
times
- this also lead to much bigger decks if the sentences being cloze-deleted are
large
- related clozes can't be spaced apart as siblings
To address these issues, we introduce the idea of cloze tags in the card
template and fields. If the template has the text:
{{cloze:1:field}}
And a field has the following contents:
{{c1::hello}}
Then the template will automatically replace that part of the text with either
occluded text, or a highlighted answer. All other clozes in the field are
displayed normally.
At the same time, we add support for text: into the template library, instead
of manually creating text: fields in the dict for every field.
Finally, add a forecast routine to get the due counts for the next week, which
is used in the GUI.
