Card type with multiple cloze from notes, with only one Q per card

Anki Card Design
1

I’m interested in creating a card type where I can copy my notes (or sections of) from school into a main text, and then go through and add cloze deletions throughout. When I study the front of the card, I’d like it to only display sentence or phrase that the question is from, with the answer on the back, and an extra section to display the entire notes, so that I can review and provide context.

That way, I can use Anki both to write and manage my notes, but also for active recall of discrete points. Thank you in advance!

You can do that by adding a lot of extra fields (one for each sentence you want to cloze), and adding them all to your card template with cloze-filtering. Then use a separate cloze-number/marker in each field.

I’m not sure I understand exactly how you imagine it to work, but you probably can achieve this using nested clozes and a bit of javascript.

If you format text in your cloze field like this:

{{c1::A first sentence in a text with a {{c1::clozed word}}.}} Unclozed portion of text. {{c2::A {{c2::different cloze}} in another sentence.}} Some more text without clozes...

where the outer cloze would mark each sentence to be used as a question, while the inner cloze with the same number would mark the actual part to be tested on, you can then put the following on the front side of the card to pick only the sentence from the active cloze for display:

<div id="single-sentence">
  {{cloze:Text}}
</div>

<script>
	sentenceContainer = document.getElementById('single-sentence');
	sentenceContainer.innerHTML = sentenceContainer.querySelector('.cloze').getAttribute('data-cloze');
</script>

and a similar code for the back:

<div id="single-sentence">
  {{cloze:Text}}
</div>

<script>
	sentenceContainer = document.getElementById('single-sentence');
	sentenceContainer.innerHTML = sentenceContainer.querySelector('.cloze').innerHTML;
</script>

If you also add full text on the back side (as usual {{cloze:Text}} without any wrappers), this should produce the following two cards:
