# md2anki

Convert Markdown formatted documents to anki decks

[//]: <> (END: HEADER)

[![PyPI version](https://badge.fury.io/py/md2anki.svg)](https://badge.fury.io/py/md2anki)

The decks were tested on:

- [Anki (Desktop client, 2.1.56)](https://apps.ankiweb.net/)
- [Anki web (Browser client, 02.2022)](https://ankiweb.net/)
- [AnkiDroid (Android client, 2.15.6)](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ichi2.anki)

## Features

- Create an anki deck `.apkg` file
- The name of the deck and its notes will be updated on your next deck import (this works via automatic IDs, **deletions can not be tracked!**)
- Very simple basic structure that supports additionally anki note tags and anki subdecks:

- Supported question/answer content:
  - LaTeX math (inline and blocks)
  - Images (local files and URLs, vector and raster format)
  - Code (inline and blocks)
  - All basic Markdown features (i.e. tables, bold, italics, lines)
- Merge notes from multiple markdown input files into a single deck output file
- Export document and all used local assets to a custom directory that can easily be shared or used as backup

To evaluate code and export to pdf the following additional software needs to be installed:

```sh
# Linux (the apt package manager is just an example)
# > Evaluate code
sudo apt install clang inkscape latexmk nodejs texlive texlive-latex-extra #texlive-full
# > PDF export
sudo apt install librsvg2-bin pandoc texlive-xetex
```

```ps1
# Windows (the choco package manager is just an example)
# > Evaluate code
choco install inkscape llvm miktex nodejs
# > PDF export
choco install miktex pandoc rsvg-convert
```

(On Windows `rsvg-convert` can sometimes throw errors in combination with `pandoc` but the latest build from [miyako](https://github.com/miyako/console-rsvg-convert/releases) does not throw them so try this one if you get errors)


```sh
# Linux + Windows
npm install -g ts-node
# > For matplotlib python graphs (used in some examples):
python -m pip install numpy matplotlib
```

```sh
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
# Runtime dependencies
python -m pip install --upgrade beautifulsoup4 genanki Markdown Pygments
# Save requirements
python -m pip freeze > "requirements.txt"
```

### Upload package to PyPI

1. [Create an PyPI account](https://pypi.org/account/login/)
2. Go to account settings, Scroll to API tokens, Create PyPI API token (with only the project scope if project already exists)

```sh
# Build
python -m pip install --upgrade pip build
python -m build
# Upload (only if a non existing version is found)
python -m pip install twine
python -m twine upload --skip-existing dist/*
# Use as username: "__token__"
# Use as password the created PyPI API token: "pypi-......"
```

### Type checks

Python files can be checked for type errors (to some extent) using the commands:

```sh
python -m pip install --upgrade mypy types-beautifulsoup4 types-Markdown types-Pygments
python -m mypy src setup.py examples tests clean.py main.py update_readme.py
```

### Format code

Python files can be formatted using the commands:

```sh
python -m pip install --upgrade black
# Add the option --check to only check if its already in the correct format
python -m black src setup.py examples tests clean.py main.py update_readme.py
```

### Code editors

This project was written using the following code editors (IDEs):

- [PyCharm (Community)](https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/download/)
