Anki Markdown

This is an Obsidian plugin, introducing support to synchronize a file in Obsidian with Anki.

It follows Anki Markdown syntax.

Headers

In top of a file, one can include a header with additional customizations. Currently, the following customizations are supported:

field	required	explanation
deckName	required	Specifies the name for Anki deck.
articleFileName	optional	If specified, then 'anki-markdown-generate' command will generate an article in a file with the specified name. An article file is a markdown file stripped off all Anki Markdown elements.
packageDestination	optional	If specified, then 'anki-markdown-generate' command will generate an apkg file in the specified location.

All fields are optional.

Run

• Install NodeJS, then run npm i in the command line under your repo folder.
• Run npm run dev to compile your plugin from main.ts to main.js.
• Make changes to main.ts (or create new .ts files). Those changes should be automatically compiled into main.js.
• Reload Obsidian to load the new version of your plugin.
• Enable plugin in settings window.
• For updates to the Obsidian API run npm update in the command line under your repo folder.

Releasing new releases

• Update your manifest.json with your new version number, such as 1.0.1, and the minimum Obsidian version required for your latest release.
• Update your versions.json file with "new-plugin-version": "minimum-obsidian-version" so older versions of Obsidian can download an older version of your plugin that's compatible.
• Create new GitHub release using your new version number as the "Tag version". Use the exact version number, don't include a prefix v. See here for an example: https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-sample-plugin/releases
• Upload the files manifest.json, main.js, styles.css as binary attachments. Note: The manifest.json file must be in two places, first the root path of your repository and also in the release.
• Publish the release.

You can simplify the version bump process by running npm version patch, npm version minor or npm version major after updating minAppVersion manually in manifest.json. The command will bump version in manifest.json and package.json, and add the entry for the new version to versions.json
