I used to copy and paste text on my mac book to create a language deck, I didn’t realize it was pasting with HTML including background color. now when I changed to dark mode on my ankidroid these cards are impossible to read. They are too many to remove by hand. is there a way to edit them all at once without losing their history ?  
thanks for the help.
