I have a field in Anki which is basically a string of words each separated by a slash.
Pteridobiotina/Angiosperms/Commelinales/Pontederiineae/Pontederiaceae/Pontederia/Oshunae/crassipes
I’m trying to get Anki to word-wrap this at the slashes, not in the middle of the words.
To achieve this, I’ve attempted to write a Javascript that inserts zero-width spaces after the slashes. The div in question is <div id='taxonomy'>{{Taxonomy}}</div>
The script is:
<script>
function insertZeroWidthSpaces() {
// Select the taxonomy div
var taxonomyDiv = document.getElementById('taxonomy');
if (taxonomyDiv) {
// Get the inner HTML
var innerHTML = taxonomyDiv.innerHTML;
// Replace all slashes with slashes followed by a zero-width space
taxonomyDiv.innerHTML = innerHTML.replace(/\//g, '/\u200B');
}
}
// Run the function when the page loads
window.onload = insertZeroWidthSpaces;
</script>
Along with the css:
#taxonomy {
word-break: normal;
overflow-wrap: break-word;
white-space: normal;
}
However, the script has no effect on how the field is displayed, and no zero-width spaces are inserted after the slashes. The line breaks are still inside of the words. I have tested this in HTML, and it works fine there, but it doesn’t work with Anki.
