Closet For Anki
0.05MB. Updated 2020-12-22. Only supports Anki 2.1.x.
The author has shared 11 other item(s).
Description
NOTE: If you are using Anki pre v2.1.36, only iOS, macOS, and Linux are supported currently, Windows is supported starting with Anki v2.1.36 and AnkiDroid is supported with 2.15 (which is currently in alpha) respectively.
Closet is a unique mix between a templating engine and a markup language written in TypeScript for the generation of flashcards, especially for the use in the Anki flashcard software.
It allows to use many “effects”, that you’d like to have on flashcards, like shuffling text items, clozes, multiple choice, or image occlusions.
For more information, see first the introduction video and afterwards the website.
Updates
2020-12-22: v0.3.0 Christmas Update:
BREAKING changes:
- If you use Closet with Asset Manager, Closet will insert a new "Closet Setup" entry into it
- Simply take the code from your old setup (which is now "loose"), paste it into the new entry
- Afterwards you can delete your the old ("loose") entry
- If you use Image Occlusion with Closet, you should be careful, when editing the occlusions:
- Make sure that the field, which is supposed to contain the occlusions has a name which is suffixed with a 0, e.g. "Cmds0", or "Code 0"
- First turn on the occlusion editor, so that the occlusions are visible on the image
- Now delete the occlusions in the "Cmds0" field
- Now accept the occlusions on the image: it should now insert the occlusions wrapped

- Now delete the occlusions in the "Cmds0" field
- Now accept the occlusions on the image: it should now insert the occlusions wrapped [#!occlusions ...your occlusions... #]
General:
- Support for Windows + AnkiDroid (starting with 2.15alpha17)
- By default, Closet now automatically pastes occlusions into a zero-indexed field, if it exists, rather than copying to clipboard
- This behavior can be changed in the add-on settings
- As a beta-feature, Closet now hooks on the cloze shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+C and Ctrl+Alt+Shift+C) for clozes in a Closet-style
- Add a select input in the toolbar, to configure what this shortcut outputs
- The toolbar can be set with Ctrl+1, Ctrl+2, for different kinds of tags
- The tag shortcuts respects the semantics of different tags (e.g. `[[c1::` cannot be on a field without a "Code 1" field, but `[[mix1::` can)
Occlusions:
- The occlusion editor will refuse to turn on, if the note type does not support Closet
- You can set the max-height for images in the settings window (in percentage of the screen height)
- Right-click on images, you can resize pictures in the editor
- Trying to close the AddCards window with the occlusion editor open, will inform you to close it first
- Turning on occlusion editor will highlight the icon in the menu
- Make font size of labels dynamic to adjust to image size
2020-11-05: v0.2.3 has MathJax support in Anki
- I improved on the previous approaches, and fixed some long-standing issues, that prevented full MathJax support
2020-11-03: v0.2.2 has experimental MathJax support in Anki
- I removed most of the MathJax support, because it would lead to issues that hide the entire card from displaying in the reviewer
2020-11-02: v0.2.1 has experimental MathJax support in Anki
- To enable it, you need to reinsert Closet using Asset Manager
2020-10-24: v0.2.0 brought some crucial changes with it, which try to make the Closet experience a better one.
- Closet doesn't need Anki Persistence installed anymore
- When opening the Asset Manager window, you will notice a script which says it's "loose". You can simply delete it.
- Closet is now loaded asynchronously, which will increase the performance.

Download Anki 2.1.35 instead of 2.1.40, and the problem is solved!

Nice add-on! Have used it for a month. However, in the latest update (2021/02/25) there seems to be a problem in "occlusion": after I clip "accept the occlusion" and press command+v, nothing happens. The clipboard doesn't copy the information of the occlusion :((

Read the changelog from 2020-12-22: By default, occlusion are now copied into a zero-indexed field instead of to the clipboard. You can change this behavior in the add-on settings.

This addon is so extensive in what it can do it blows me away. It takes a while to learn it, but OP has put a youtube video out that helps that a ton. Pretty much anything you ever wanted to do with a card template can be done through this.

Thanks a lot for your kind words, I appreciate it :)

Incredibly useful for making complex cards

Really great. Useful for occlusions, for custom clozes, and even for general markup. I use this for:
Cloze Overlapping
Image Occlusion
Inline HTML Macros (Really useful)
Multiple Choice
This is an addon that needs to be known more.

This add-on single-handedly adds several of the most wished for features in Anki. It is extensible, works cross platform and has a ton of possibilities. The time you invest to learning to configure this add-on will be the most fruitful 60 mins of your anki journey. Kudos to the developer. Mind blown.

Nice work!

A couple questions:
- How can I do image occlusion to only cover one image at a time? I don't want all the images to be covered on the front of the card
- Is there a way in the style section to increase the font size of the cloze once it's revealed? I like doing this to help see it better
- Is there a way to generate multi-cloze cards without having to write "active" in all those cmds fields? Ideally I'd like to just generate multiple cards like how I can with the usual cloze cards
This addon would be perfect for me if I could fix some of this stuff

1. If your cards are properly set up, just putting "[[show::*]]" in field where the other occlusions are, but before the occlusions, should be enough.
2. Certainly possible, but would require a custom setup.
3. Writing "active" should not necessary, once you update to Anki 2.1.36. It overwrites the built-in cloze command, which also writes "active" into the cmd fields.
P.S. you can also reach me on GitHub, or on the Anki Forum, which are platforms better suited for this kind of dialog.

Probably useful but too complicated for me now (and besides that I'm on Anki 2.1.22)

Can support Version 2.1.26？
Comment from author
I'm afraid not. iOS, macOS, and Linux are supported currently, Windows and Android will follow with Anki v2.1.36 and AnkiDriod 2.15 respectively.

Amazing work! The potential for Closet is huge - and the author's support is top notch. Can we take a moment to appreciate how all of this guy's addons are free for everyone?
on
Excellent, but it doesn't work on ankidroid, what can it be?
Comment from author
It's a known issue, however we're working on it. Support should come with the next AnkiDroid version (2.15). https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android/pull/7764

Awesome!!! Keep going with this wonderful addon!

I will :D

Incredibly useful add-on. Incremental reveal, reveal/hidden occlusions and integrated image occlusions are absolute game changers.
If you eventually make a tutorial on setting up the toggle button for 'recth' occlusions, that'd be the cherry on top of this sundae of an add-on.

Comment from author
Yes, that's kind of a "hidden" superpower of Closet. If I make a tutorial it's probably gonna be somewhat developer-oriented, because you gotta know some HTML / JavaScript to understand what's happening.

Amazing

Something might be broken in latest updates. Don't know what but it's not working properly.
Comment from author
Could you elaborate what's not working? You don't give me much to work with here... Please refer to the "Contact Author" button for bug reports.

just mention an issue regarding Mathjax. For newline mathjax you have to wrap text like \[x^2\]. so if I make a close like [[c1::\[x^2\]]] it does not render properly. There was an easy solution and that was to just add a space like [[c1::\[x^2\] ]]. This works fine. just figured I'd mention it.
Edit: thanks for the tip that will come in handy

Another thing regarding Mathjax: If you insert Closet in Asset Manager using "As External Script", Mathjax will execute first, then Closet, otherwise, Closet will execute first, then Mathjax.
This is important if you want to put Closet commands into Mathjax commands, like \[ x + y = [[pick::number]] \]. This will only work if you choose the insertion method "Into Template".
However using "Into Template" cards will take much longer to render, especially if you have a lot of card types, which is why I would usually recommend to choose "As External script". So there is a trade-off here: if you want to use Mathjax in the above way, choose "Into Template", otherwise choose "As External Script".

Looks amazing but there's a conflict with another add-on I use. I wanted to use this to add Clozed effect to my Japanese production cards but [] brackets are used by the Japanese support add-on to put Furigana over words. when i try to add the closed effect anki thinks it furigana and doesn't add the effect.
If it possible can i change it to use different brackets like {} or <>.
