Card format looks weird
I tried reviewing some new cards and the formatting is looking very weird. (Front card)

Any update here? It doesnt seem to be fixed. I cant use the app due to broken syntax.

The sentence is okay, the problem is the syntax

@Migaku Memory Support Would be cool if someone can take a look at this ~

Does it still look weird for you? It looks different for me...

can you copy and paste exactly the text from the MM "Sentence field here? also wrap it in apostrophes
like this so we get any special characters as they are
also, where did you get this card?metropolitan-bronzeOP•2y ago
Yes, it still looks the same. Reinstalled the application on a new pc and it's the same

This is the front of the card
Looks the same on the iOS app
Unfortunately I cant do that on pc since the MM and the new extension combo doesnt allow me to edit the card. I can copy it from the mobile app tho
Btw, I am using Chrome with Windows 11, so there shouldnt be any problem.
Weird text copied exactly from the MM's front card:
Executives at the top are looking to instill a standard of ruthless execution in themselves, their staffs, and their cultures, as well as how to keep their personal lives appropriately in balance and in play.
When editing the card on ios app, the sentence field looks right (the one editable), but only that one with the syntax looks weird.metropolitan-bronzeOP•2y ago

Those double spaces look like the cause - wonder where they came from
Do you know if this was mined using the old extension or the new one?
When you edit the text in the input field it should trigger the parser, does anything happen if you add a space and delete it like this?
metropolitan-bronzeOP•2y ago
When adding a space and saving, then it gets back to normal. Just tested on my iOS app
Is there any way to bulk do that do the broken cards? Or a workaround.
It would take a lot to manually do it for every one of them
correct-apricot•2y ago
Gotcha - thanks for confirming that
There's no way to do that in bulk unfortunately
There's two ways you could do it:
1. Update the cards as they come up during your studies (a lot of work like you mentioned, and potentially disruptive to studies)
2. See if there's a way in Anki where you can find and replace the double spaces with just a single one
For number 2 what you could try is export your deck as a CSV (be sure to keep scheduling info and media in the export), open in a text editor and do a global find and replace, and then re-import that CSV in to Anki
Were these sentences mined from the legacy extension?
metropolitan-bronzeOP•2y ago
I'm pretty sure they've been added with the new one.
I'll keep that in mind, thanks!

@Saxon if it's the new extension we'll want to investigate this
like-gold•2y ago
I will see if I can replicate it!
I cannot replicate it 🥲
@Tiberiu are all your created cards like this?
If you are finding issues with cards created from the new extension Card Creator, I'd like to fix it!
If you can give me an example, like "creating a card for this sentence, from this page" that will help a lot
like-gold•2y ago
And ofc we will want to confirm you made the card via this Card Creator 👆

And not the Legacy extension, so we can locate the precise cause of the problem 🙂
metropolitan-bronzeOP•2y ago
I m pretty sure it was with this one. I will create some new more cards when I get home and let you know if they have the same weird format.
Just to make sure
Yes, I think all my latest cards are like this. That’s why I stopped using migaku memory as well, because every card i was creating was looking like that

We just need a lead, then we can fix this!
Thanks in advance 🙏
