Fixing mustache tags and comments (back template has a problem)

[kayx23]

Hello there,
I downloaded and opened the .apkg. The two cards were imported into "Themes" but when I tried to view the cards, they show

Back template has a problem:
Found '⁨{{! Anki only}}⁩', but there is no field called '⁨! Anki only⁩'

Is there anything I can do to fix it?

Thanks!

[abdulrcs]

had the same problem, have you found the solution yet?

[readybuilderone]

had the same problem too

I had the same issue. I just deleted '⁨{{! Anki only}}⁩' and it did the job

[Arthur-Milchior]

For an explanation: up until last year, probably 2.1.28, anki used a tool called mustache, and "{{!foo}}" was interpreted as a comment.
This was removed, and anyway, as the author seems to know, it is useless since html allow for comments <!-- comment -->

[Arthur-Milchior]

Note that {{{foo}}} is not valid anymore, this now leave a trailing }

[peter-moran]

Would fixing this be as simple as removing the use of {{{triple braces}}} and {{! brace comments}} from files in https://github.com/badlydrawnrob/anki/tree/8a1b6f75bad54131a58485538a0b217966238d75/source/themes/cards?

Also I'm getting bugged about automatic pull requests (the only one that seems worth it is this one):

• Fix iOS text adjustment #58

And a good article on npm commands for moustache, using a json file to populate the templates:

I've been incommunicado for a good while, and it seems like there's been quite a few changes that I'll get around to looking at in the future. However, I haven't used Anki in about 4 years, and I'm not coding other than as a hobby, really.

I'll take a look at some simple changes soon, but there's a few annoying bugs which might be harder to fix.

Also please see this issue as another example of Dependency Hell :(

@Arthur-Milchior @peter-moran @kayx23 @readybuilderone If you guys are still interested, there should be some changes coming out soon (once I've tested things on Anki app) — the one thing I haven't figured out yet is why Anki throws errors on the Cloze fields (although creating a new card doesn't seem to be a problem).

• Cloze field has an error message #63

As for editing your color themes, hopefully this page and this advanced documentation (plus links to Github issues) will go a long way to making the build process easier to understand?

Let me know if you have any suggestions. Thanks 👍

@Arthur-Milchior @peter-moran @kayx23 @readybuilderone One thing that would be extremely helpful is if you could send me over a couple of decks using Anki Themes — I've just logged into Ankiweb and realised ALL my old cards have vanished. 🤔

[kayx23]

Sorry I haven't been using Anki for a while and lost track of what this was about. Hope the others can assist!

[peter-moran]

iirc I've modified the decks a bit locally over time (love the theme though), but here are 100 random notes from my deck https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BIqmv_vIvS5E6bltLRErJjrU1ML_jJCN/view?usp=share_link

@peter-moran That's perfect thank you. Would you mind giving me a quick overview of the changes you made? It seems like you're using both the first and second version of Anki themes and:

• Syntax (inline code) is floated to the right of the title
• You've converted the Title field to a {{cloze:type}} and moved it's position in the code
• You don't seem to be using the `Syntax (code block) fields at all
• I assume you're not using Pandoc to convert markdown->html either.

When you uploaded the second version of Anki, did you have any problems with compatibility? Any error messages like below? I can't remember if I created brand new Note Type or not.

• Cloze field has an error message #63

@kayx23 That's no problem! I hope it helped you out when you did use it. You've actually had a very interesting career path, would you mind me connecting on LinkedIn? I might have a couple of DM questions :)

[kayx23]

@badlydrawnrob I don't mind, happy to connect :)

[badlydrawnrob]

A fix is coming in the next release. Thanks for being patient.

[badlydrawnrob]

This is now fixed in the latest release
