New Basic card type and note type manager options
The support add-on is updated with a new Note Type, which is designed to be a cross-platform substitute for Anki “basic…” Note Types. By itself, it has minimal content and is intended to serve as a basis for original card templates, while including complete boilerplate, automatically assembled to make all essential Anki features fully functional on all platforms. This covers typing and error highlights for AnkiWeb (which also makes it accessible for card scripts on AnkiMobile, unlike the stock typing field), working audio buttons and TTS for AnkiWeb (which can also be used as alternative for [sound:] on all platforms to allow for more control over audio playback from card scripts), and style normalization to unify the appearance produced by card styles between desktop, web, and mobile.
New cross-platform basic note type can be created the exact same way as the stock basic types: Tools → Manage Note Types → Add → “Add: Basic (Lτ)” → Ok → type in a name → Ok.
The creation of a new Memrise note type can now be initiated from this window as well: selecting “Add: Memrise (Lτ)” from the list opens the full customization dialog with all the options provided by the template.
