This is what we want! The mysterious Field 3 contains the tags that we specified with the \tags-command in our LaTeX file, and if we do not change the default association of Field 3 with Tags, then these tags will be imported correctly. If any of these notes has a tag, then the import dialog will show up with three fields. In the current version of LaTeX Note Importer, tags are only imported correctly if the (maximum) number of fields per note in the LaTeX file matches the number of fields of the note type selected in the import dialog.įor example, suppose our note type has just the two fields Front and Back, and accordingly each note in our LaTeX file also has two fields. Of course, you will need to define each field type that you use in the preamble of your file in order for the file to be compilable. For example, this field can be used for note IDs (see the section on updating notes). Of course, this is mainly useful for notes that contain a lot of LaTeX to begin with, for example mathematical notes. This allows you to create Anki notes in your favourite editor or IDE. As the name says, the add-on provides functionality for importing notes from LaTeX files. LaTeX Note Importer is an add-on for Anki, an open-source flash-card program developed and maintained by Damien Elmes. Why has the mechanism for importing tags changed? Why not keep the -commands in a card template?
