Export selected cards from the browser (HTML & Clipboard)

This add-on allows users to export selected Anki cards to a printable HTML file or directly copy the content of multiple cards to the clipboard.

It is based on https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1025789669

1. Exporting Selected Cards:

Open the Anki Browser. Select the desired cards. Right-click and select “Print” (or Ctrl + O). An HTML file will be saved on your desktop and it will open in a web browser.

2. Copying Card Fields:

Select the cards you want to copy. Right-click and choose “Copy Card Fields”. The content is now on your clipboard, ready to be pasted wherever needed.

Details:

For printing:

Cards containing MathJax or LaTeX are appropriately formatted. Cards are printed with your CSS styles. If you have Javascript in your card template, it may or may not work properly. If you have bugs in the HTML file, it’s probably due to Javascript in your template. In the config file you can set the number of cards printed per row. Change the field “cardsPerRow”.

For copying:

When copying, all HTML elements are stripped away, and any images are replaced with the placeholder “(IMG OMITTED)”, which you can change in the config file. In the config file you can set a specific text that will appear at the beginning of the copied content. Useful for adding context or instructions. Change the field “Prompt”.

In both cases, empty fields or those from “Image Occlusion” cards are omitted from the content.
