Honestly… I feel bad rating this badly, because I was very grateful for the fork while it was alive. I wanted to do it myself but just didn’t have time to jump down the rabbit hole.

Anyway, I wanted to leave this comment for any future viewers/Anki-lovers that want to spice up their cards with some syntax highlighting: someone else made their own version that, after ~1 year (I think?), has worked great for me! If I am being completely honest, I did like these original extensions more due to a

Thanks for taking the time to revive this project! Unfortunately, it seems to have a few bugs…

1. Language selection does not work. It always uses Python.
2. Styling seems to be broken. It no longer applies background coloring, code lines are not properly styled, etc.
3. Language selection in preferences is broken. E.g. try to specify “C#”. The language selection dropdown will list “Python, C, #”. If you specify “CSharp” instead, the dropdown will offer “Python, C, S, h, a, r, p”.

This works, including with cloze deletion (at least in regular mode, unfortunately illegible in night mode), and offers support for lots of languages.

Thank you for your work this add-on is perfect and very necessary! Wondering if there’s a way to format the text to wrap to fit a phone screen so we don’t have to scroll to see the whole code snippet! Works perfect on laptop/pc though.

For anyone having problems with dark mode, just change the style of the addOn in config to to dark themes in https://pygments.org/styles/

Works as expected. Thank you. It would be nice if it was easier to change lang list. I tried “c++” and “go”, but it was a mistake, one has to put “C++” and “Go”, first letter uppercase; that’s not intuitive; Also at least on Android, when dark system theme is enabled some identifiers are hardly readable against background
