Brings color and structure to your Anki tags

An add-on for the spaced-repetition flashcard app Anki that allows coloring and pinning your tags. On older Anki revisions that do not support tag hierarchies natively yet, the add-on also provides a hierarchical tags implementation.

Based on Patrice Neff's original Hierarchical Tags and inspired by the coloring and pinning features first introduced with BetterTags.
