FHighlight - Dynamic Code Highlighting for Anki

An Anki add-on that mainly adds syntax highlighting for code via a custom filter which you put in your card templates.

This uses the Pygments library like glutanimate's Syntax Highlighting for Code add-on. The main difference is that this add-on highlights code dynamically when it's shown in the reviewing screen, and doesn't modify the notes themselves. This has the disadvantage that syntax highlighting will not work without the add-on (i.e. it won't work on mobile platforms), but might make it easier to dynamically modify some highlighting parameters.

How to use

Put the add-on's filter in your card template like this:

{{highlight lang=python:Front}}

The lang option specifies the programming language. See Pygments documentation for a list of all supported languages. You can alternatively omit the option to make the add-on try to guess the language from the field text using Pygments' guess_lexer function.

You can also dynamically specify the language for each note by prefixing the value of the lang option with #:

{{highlight lang=#lang_field:Front}}

Here the value of the option (lang_field) is interpreted as a field name where the language identifier is stored in your notes.

You can also use the following filter to list all supported languages:

{{highlight-list-lexers:}}

There is also a more flexible option for highlighting code snippets in fields without having to modify your templates. Enclose code snippets in the triple backticks like this:

<pre>

print('hello world!')

</pre>

You can also omit the language here.
