README
Transparent Text
Hide helper text inside your Anki notes without deleting it.
Transparent Text is a tiny editor add-on that makes selected text invisible using CSS while keeping it fully searchable, editable, synchronized, and stored inside the note.
Originally built for my own study workflow and shared with the Anki community.

How It Works

- The text becomes invisible.
- Click again to restore it.
Internally the add-on simply wraps the selection with:

The content remains part of the note and can still be searched, synchronized, copied, and edited.

Why I Built It
While studying, I often wanted to keep helper words, mnemonics, or personal notes inside my cards without displaying them during review.
Transparent Text provides a simple one-click solution without adding extra fields or changing your card templates. Because it uses transparent text instead of fixed colours, your hidden notes remain invisible in both Light and Dark mode without any extra work.
