Prevent highlighted text to become accidental cloze cards

[mtomas7]

Thank you very much for your plugin!

I have such a problem: usually, in one document I write my notes on the subject and at the end of the file I include test questions. If I use ==highlights== in the notes, plugin picks them up as cloze cards. I guess, I could separate questions to a separate file, but that that would make note structure unnecessary complicated.

I was thinking if it would be possible to use HTML comments to separate text that should be excluded from the scanning for questions, eg:

<!-- Do Not Scan for Flash cards - Start -->

and close it with

<!-- Do Not Scan for Flash cards - Stop -->

Or something similar. Or otherwise, we could use comment to show the place of questions:

<!-- Scan for Flash cards - Start -->

close:

<!-- Scan for Flash cards - Stop -->

How do you think?

Thank you!

Or perhaps using the {{Curly Brackets}} would be easier?

• Personally, I would prefer to only use ==highlights== in my notes for highlights.

Thanks!

Yes, custom cloze syntax would be nice.

A workaround could be to use the standard markdown bold syntax, **bold**, for clozes that we want to make into flash cards and then we could use the alternative bold syntax, __alt bold__, for when we want to bold but not make a flash card

Also, checkout the community plug-in 'Extra Markdown Commands' to make a hotkey for the alternative syntax (non flash card bold).

Then remap standard bold syntax (cloze bold) syntax to something like Anki, for example: CMD+Shift+C
