Convert Markdown to Anki Cards with VS Code and AnkiConnect

Setup

• Install AnkiConnect in Anki.

• Install the Anki extension in VS Code.

• Update the VS Code settings.json file to include:
  

  "anki.md.insertNewCardID": true,
  "anki.md.updateCards": true,
  

Usage

Creating/Updating Cards

• Open Anki.

• In VS Code, navigate to any Markdown file from which you'd like to create Anki cards.

  • Note: The optimal format for this workflow is:

  ## Card Front
  
  Card back
  

• Run one of the VS Code commands to send the content to a deck:

  • Anki: Send To Deck
  • Anki: Send To Own Deck
  • Anki: Send to DirName Deck

• Your notes will now be up to date in Anki!
