Im using anki to learn Irish and I downloaded a shared deck which is good for vocab but when I want to add my own cards to the deck I see the premade deck type and cant change any of the fields or the aspects of it like where does what go or the colour of the text and how to add some of the stuff to…

[image] Limidan: this is the code for a single card That has lot of good signposts for you, so it shouldn’t be too tough to edit. Anything you don’t understand, you can look up at W3 Schools , for a common-sense explanation. When you see this notation –  – it’s a comment, to let …

You don’t need to know HTML. If you want to add some styling, maybe a little knowledge of CSS would be useful. Anyways usually the HTML used in Anki cards is pretty easy and limited to <b> <u> <i> <sub> <sup> <strong> <div> <ul> (and <li>'s) You can easily find help online for such tags. Note th…

ignore the code if you want i just want to know is this amount normal or not

Nothing about the code amount is weird. My templates that I created myself have at least double that amount, whereas the default html (in templates anki ships by default) are not even half of it.

thanks to everyone who helped me Ive figured a bit more out and realised that alot of my problems are with myself and not with my ability with anki but one issue I have is how to have text on the front of the card and remove it on the back If i have a verb and want to specify which tense but then o…
