Copy2Clipboard(html2text) Add-on for Anki

Copy2Clipboard(html2text) automatically copies a field's content to the clipboard when the question or answer side is shown (or both, if desired).

How is this add-on different from Copy2Clipboard?

This add-on is built on Copy2Clipboard. I simply bundled html2text to convert HTML to Markdown-formatted text.

The original Copy2Clipboard copies the underlying html, which is probably not what you want. For example, given the following front side:

the following content is copied:

<pre style="display:flex; justify-content:center;"><code class="language-rust hljs"><span class="hljs-keyword">fn</span> <span class="hljs-title function_">main</span>() {
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <span class="hljs-built_in">println!</span>(<span class="hljs-string">"Hello World!"</span>);
}</code></pre>

With this add-on, the following is copied:

    fn main() {
        println!("Hello World!");
    }

Default behavior

When the question side is shown: "Front" field will be copied to the clipboard (if one exists).

When the answer side is shown: nothing will be copied to the clipboard.

To modify the default behavior, go to Tools -> Add-ons -> Choose Copy2Clipboard(html2text) -> Click Config -> edit "questionField" and "answerField" according to your needs

Installation through AnkiWeb
