I have invested a lot of time into making this basic reverse card vocabulary deck. I put word usage quotes along with definitions on each card without thinking about it and now I have 185 reverse cards that look like this.
example
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
cause or give rise to (a feeling, situation, or condition). “the issue engendered continuing controversy.”
verb
engender
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I don’t know how to redact the usage quote until I reveal engender as the answer. I want to see the quote after I have answered the card.
desired effect before answering
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
cause or give rise to (a feeling, situation, or condition). ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
verb
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
desired effect after answering
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
cause or give rise to (a feeling, situation, or condition). “the issue engendered continuing controversy.”
verb
engender

sorry for the terrible formatting I am 15 years old so this is new to me! thank you very much for your time.
I recommend creating a new field and putting example sentences in it. This way, you can simply include {{Example}} in your back template to reveal the sentence only after you answer the card. Eg:
Front Template
{{Definition}}
Back Template
{{Word}}
<br>
{{Example}}
If you already have a lot of cards formatted as you shown and want to fix them to move the sentences to the Example field, you probably need to use a custom Python script or something (Find and Replace won’t work here).
For existing cards and your current notetype, you can add some JavaScript code to your template to hide the sentences in the front side. Eg:
Front Template
<div id=front>{{Front}}</div>
<script>
if(!document.getElementById("answer")) {
var front = document.getElementById("front");
front.textContent = front.textContent.replace(/“.*”/, '');
}
</script>
Did you try including the last front/back templates I posted in the templates screen? Make sure to change the field names as necessary. If you’re getting any errors, please post them here.
the images above are what I have on Engender card 1 but the new code dose not appear on card 2. card 2 is the card that needs to be changed. when I try to edit your code for card 2 it dose not have any effect.
The result I got when I put the code into card 2 was really, really close to what I am looking for. I just need the quoted sentence to disappear instead of change color.
I can not find anything about “Export Notes in the browser” on the Anki manual. All I found was stuff about exporting. I tried to export a sample card to you but it’s format is incompatible with this reply box. where can I “upload” my exported sample card so I can share a link to you? Where are the notes that you are suggesting me to reference from?
