Description

ColorCoding - Anki Add-on Improve your learning strategy with the ColorCoding add-on. This tool allows you to set specific font colors for different terms and automatically colors these preset words when editing cards. Consistently color-coding your Anki cards can effectively enhance memory retention. How to use ColorCoding 1. Settings Within Anki, open “Tools” -> “Color Coding…” to set up word-color pairs. Make sure there are no empty spaces in your word definitions. Alternatively, you can manually provide data in JSON format, e.g., [{"word": "penicillin", "group": "", "color": "red"}, {"word": "doxycycline", "group": "", "color": "green"}, ... ]. via “Tools” -> “Color Coding…” -> "Modify Manually". 2. Coloring Once you want to color your words, press the ColorCoding button. This automatically colors all defined words in the field that is currently being edited. All available HTML color names and HEX color codes can be used. One color can be set for as many words as you want, allowing specific font colors to be used for either a single term or an entire group of words. Preset words will automatically be colored while typing within the Add window.
