Extra Fields

The text found in the note filter: field is extracted and analyzed by AnkiMorphs. AnkiMorphs can then place information about that text into dedicated fields on your cards.

Note: The first time you select an extra field, you will need to perform a full sync upload to AnkiWeb. If you have a large number of cards (500K+), syncing might become an issue. For more details, refer to the Anki FAQ.

Important: Extra fields add more data to your collection, so only select the fields that will be useful to you.

The fields contain the following:

• am-all-morphs:
  A list of the morphs.

• am-all-morphs-count:
  The number of morphs.

• am-unknown-morphs:
  A list of the morphs that are still unknown to you.

• am-unknown-morphs-count:
  The number of morphs that are still unknown to you.

• am-highlighted:
  An HTML version of the text that highlights the morphs based on learning status.

• am-score:
  The score AnkiMorphs determined the card to have

• am-score-terms:
  The individual score terms

• am-study-morphs:
  A list of the morphs that were unknown to you when you first studied the card.

The following fields will only update on new cards:

• am-all-morphs
• am-all-morphs-count
• am-score
• am-score-terms
• am-study-morphs

and these fields will always update, even on reviewed cards:

• am-unknown-morphs
• am-unknown-morphs-count
• am-highlighted

The extra fields display morphs in this form:

You can chose to display morphs in their inflected forms:

"walking and talking" -> [walking, and, talking]

or their lemma (base) forms:

"walking and talking" -> [walk, and, talk]

This effects the following three fields:

• am-all-morphs
• am-study-morphs
• am-unknown-morphs

Using am-study-morphs

Adding this field to your card-template can give you a quick way to see which morphs are/were unknown to you on the first encounter. Here is a simplified version of the card template used in the example above:

Using am-*-morphs-count

This is useful if you want to sort your cards in the browser based on how many total/unknown morphs they have.

Using am-highlighted

AnkiMorphs can automatically color-code morphs based on their learning status, i.e., how well you know them.

I recommend only putting the highlighted-field on the back of cards. The reason for this is that, in order to get the best results, you want your SRS experience to simulate real life as much as possible. When reading in real life, you aren’t going to be told which words you know and which you don’t. So, it makes sense to have your sentence cards reflect this.

Here is a simplified example of some of the changes you need to make to your card template to get the results shown above. Notice that the am-highlighted-field is substituted for the Japanese-field on the back of the card.

You also need to add the following to the Styling section (choose any color you want):

[morph-status=unknown] { color: blue; }
[morph-status=learning] { color: #8bb33d; } /* light-green */
[morph-status=known] { color: green; }

.nightMode [morph-status=unknown] { color: red; } 
.nightMode [morph-status=learning] { color: #ffff99; } /* yellow */
.nightMode [morph-status=known] { color: #8bb33d; } /* light-green */

You can pick and choose among these; if you only want unknown morphs to be highlighted, and you don't care about dark-mode, then only adding the first line would be enough.

It’s also possible to use background-color:

[morph-status=unknown] { background-color: #f7867e; } /* red */
[morph-status=learning] { background-color: #ffff99; } /* yellow */
[morph-status=known] { background-color: #49f53e; } /* green */

.nightMode [morph-status=unknown] { background-color: #b74d4d; } /* red */
.nightMode [morph-status=learning] { background-color: #ccad50; } /* yellow */
.nightMode [morph-status=known] { background-color: #27961f; } /* green */

Furigana and other ruby characters

The am-highlighted field supports ruby characters such as furigana. To have furigana displayed properly, you have to prepend furigana: to the field in the card template, e.g:

{{furigana:am-highlighted}}

You also have to have the Ignore content in square brackets preprocess setting activated.

Note: This does not always work flawlessly. The known problems section has more details on how to fix ruby character highlighting problems.

Duplicate Audio Problem

When the back of a card also has an audio field and not just the front, then both might play after each other when you press Show Answer on the card. To prevent both playing you can do the following:

1. Go to deck-options
2. Scroll down to the Audio section
3. Activate Skip question when replaying answer
