Allow multiple {{c1::cloze tags}} in Missing! cards?

[badlydrawnrob]

⚠️ This idea might be dead in the water. I don't think it's possible with Anki right now (or ever).

It seems Anki requires you to add a {{c1::cloze tag}} to a cloze field for it to display at all.

• I've added it as a suggestion for future Anki features.

No cloze found on card is an error that I've come across. This happens if no {{c1::cloze tag}} is allocated to a cloze field. However, if you have two cloze fields, you don't need to use both! Anki doesn't give an error, if you've added a {{c1::cloze tag}} to at least one field, but complains silently.

• At least one user of the early version of Anki Themes changed the layout of the cards with more cloze fields.
• Anki complains LOUDLY if you don't add at least one cloze tag
• Anki complains silently if your 2nd or 3rd cloze field has no cloze tags.
  • They just don't show up on the card at all 😭
• You can, however, use a {{c1::cloze tag}} across fields!
  • Anki doesn't seem to render these properly

Making it clear that the field is a cloze type

• Make cloze field a little more obvious? #83

Previous exploration

I think that multiple {{cloze:text}} fields would be problematic, as Anki complains if no cloze tags are assigned:

• Images are broken (too large file size?)

Basically Anki creates an empty card if you don't add a {{c1:cloze tag}} (see below).

Empty cards with no cloze tags

Here's one card that has a field (the only cloze field) without a card. To delete it, you have to deselect the checkbox keep notes with no valid cards and hit delete. Otherwise the "empty" card will show up in your study deck as in the above images.

Doesn't work

2nd or 3rd cloze field with no tags

• Both Title and Syntax (inline code) are cloze fields here (without tags)
• Neither of them render in the card

Also doesn't work ...

A {{c1:cloze tag}} across different fields

1. Renders the tag (not the answer)
2. The frontside doesn't even render the field text
   • the reverse renders the full tag (not only the answer)

Does work

2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc cloze field with a tag. However, any cloze field that doesn't have a {{c1::cloze tag}} in it will not render. Damn.

Conditionally load the title if no {{c1::cloze tag}} exists?
