Native Cloze
Beta
This template is currently in beta. If you run into any issues, please report them on GitHub Issues.
Use Anki's built-in cloze syntax directly — no format conversion needed.
Wrap the text you want to hide with {{c1::text}}. Each cloze number generates a separate card, and the rest of the text stays visible as context.
Quick Start
Write cloze deletions in the question field:
The capital of China is {{c1::Beijing}}, and its largest city is {{c2::Shanghai}}.
This produces two cards:
- Card 1 — hides all
c1clozes;c2text remains visible. - Card 2 — hides all
c2clozes;c1text remains visible.
During review, click a hidden cloze or press W to reveal it. Press Shift + Space to reveal or hide all at once.
Hints
Add an optional hint as a third segment: {{c1::answer::hint}}.
A yellow hint block will appear in place of the hidden text. Hover it on desktop or tap it on mobile to peek at the hint — the answer stays hidden until you click to reveal.
Fields
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| question | The question text. Write your cloze deletions here. |
