I am creating this one because the old one (with the same title) has been closed (and I don’t see why, since the problem still exists today). And why I can’t include URLs here?! Honestly I can’t believe that this has not been resolved yet. It’s not a minor issue, it’s a major flaw and makes for suc…

[image] Can't get rid of lots of nbsp in my cards Help Hi, I use Anki to learn Spanish, I copy many definitions from the online RAE dictionary (which is the authoritative source for the language), no matter whether I paste them using Cmd-V or Cmd-Shift-V I’m un…

I did install the add-on that you mentioned before posting this, and unfortunately it does not work. It’s also not ideal to rely on add-ons that tend to break when there’s a new release. I am obviously not forcing anyone to do anything. I am just saying that the implementation is sloppy, in ways th…

There is more than one addon. I don’t like your language and I expect no developer will be willing to fix this for you as long as you stay like this. I’m not responding any further.

Nobody is supposed to work for me, but my expectation is that when people work on something that other people are going to use, they either do it well, or rather not do it at all. I am not happy to waste my time searching for solutions to problems that were created by someone else’s sloppy implement…

Yes I was aware of that, but there must be a better way. In my case, the problem was not the nbsp per se, but the fact that when adding a space while editing a card containing formatted text (e.g. bolded), it would automatically add a normal space PLUS a nbsp. So the end result is that when the card…

[image] Danika_Dakika: universal experience My issue is indeed not exactly the same as the previous post, although I guess it’s strongly related. I am adding some screenshots for reference. See HTML snipped below: To nie jest mój dom. Ja nie wiem, co robić. CSS that applie…

I couldn’t reproduce this. The inserted &nbsp’s are rendered exactly the same as normal spaces with the charter font on my system: [image]

You can’t post links because you’re using a new account.

Volunteers work on whatever they like and you can’t really force it to happen. Besides, there are already perfectly working solutions to this problem such as these addons Google Search.
