I am using Obsidian to Anki to create my Anki Cards this is why the screenshot looks a bit different. It seems like the syntax of the cloze deletion “{{c1:text you don want to see}}” is not compatible in code cards with curly brackets . As you can see in the second screenshot the cloze1 is not found. I troubleshooted it and it seems like the other curly brackets in the codecard are the problem. Did anyone else here had the problem? Is it possible to **change the syntax** of the **cloze deletion** to something which doesnt use curly brackets? Would be nice if someone could show me how to handle this problem :). ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/anki2/original/2X/2/2f89f9c9ce32fc985d94cef7e7faaba36665b570.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/anki2/original/2X/4/411d7712287bb080baad660d60dfaa161f53391d.png) EDIT: Seems to be a common problem ([https://www.reddit.com/r/Anki/comments/n2gu8x/how\_to\_clozedelete\_mathjax\_formulas\_containing\_and/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Anki/comments/n2gu8x/how_to_clozedelete_mathjax_formulas_containing_and/)) - in this reddit post the answer was just to use **spaces in front and behind** the other curly brackets so that they are not recognized as cloze deletion. But this is not a solution in my case, because I dont want to manipulate my code using spaces… So the question is still if there is an option to change the Syntax of the Cloze Deletion. ---

Reading your post is hard, due to the number of unmatched delimiters 😛 Jokes apart, you should try [this add-on](https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1933645497). The screenshot seems exactly what you are looking for, and you will notice on of the cloze deletion has no spaces around. ---
