Display Hint of Cloze at Back of the Cloze Cards

Anki Card Design
1

I heavily use cloze cards for creating cards.

During Review - When I click Show Answer - Hints of Clozes are stripped away.
There are few cases when I take some time to formulate the info and forget what was the initial question ?

also if question is visible it makes much sense

It looks like hints are being stripped away at Back of the anki

Initial Script I tried


<div>{{cloze:Text}}</div>
<script>
document.querySelectorAll('.cloze').forEach(el => {
    let parts = el.innerHTML.split("::");
    if (parts.length > 1) {
        el.innerHTML = `<b>${parts[0]}</b> <span style="color: gray;">(${parts[1]})</span>`;
    }
});
</script>


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

<script>
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {
    document.querySelectorAll('.cloze').forEach(el => {
        let originalText = el.getAttribute('data-cloze'); // Fetch raw cloze content
        if (originalText && originalText.includes("::")) {
            let parts = originalText.split("::");
            if (parts.length > 2) { // Ensure there's a hint
                el.innerHTML = `<b>${parts[1]}</b> <span style="color: gray;">(${parts[2]})</span>`;
            }
        }
    });
});
</script>

You’re using cloze to make simple Question/Answer cards. You don’t have to put the Question in the cloze-hint.

Try this instead –

Why Parliamentary System of Governance preferred ?
{{c1::Answer}}

Or just use a Question/Answer note type to make these cards.
