Hello, I am using version Version 2.1.48 of the Anki app, on my laptop.
I write my notes as a text file with a tab in between the question and answer, and import them into Anki. When the answer is spread over several lines, I use quotation marks around beginning and end, like this:
Question? “Answer 1
Answer 2”
This works fine, and the cards display in Anki correctly. I have changed some notes directly in Anki, and I want to export the deck back into a text file for a back-up, and also so that I can make further changes in Notepad and import them back.
But when I export them as notes, all the quotation marks have gone, and the export has spaces in between the multi-line answers, like this:
Question? Answer 1 Answer2
I would not be able to use that format without putting back all my quotation marks and carriage returns.
If I export them as cards, it comes out like this:
Question? Answer 1
Answer2
I’ve tried importing this back into Anki in a test file, and the answer is not correctly formatted and displays with the
in it instead of putting Answer 2 on the next line.
I thought I was able to do this previously, but perhaps I’m mis-remembering. I have not changed the version of Anki since I installed it a few months ago.
Could anyone explain to me how I can export my notes, work on them, and import them back with my formatting intact? Or please tell me if it’s not possible!
Thank you.
