Answer does not retain formatting

Anki Card Design

I’m using the formatting buttons to format an answer for a fill-in-the-answer card to have some words in bold and some in italic.

But when I show answer, none of that formatting is applied.

Is there a procedure to make this work for a fill-in-the-answer card?

Not exactly. You can’t have formatting on the answer comparison. Type-answer fields strip out all formatting.

However, you can add your answer field on the back template of your card, to display it with the formatting.
