+# anki sentence mining template
+
+work in progress
+
+this is an anki card template for sentence mining. it has fields for a foreign
+sentence, foreign word, translated word and an optional translated sentence. it
+supports a markdown-like [syntax](#syntax) for adding furigana that is visible
+on either both sides or only on the back side.
+
+## example
+
+### input
+
+|Field|Value|
+|-|-|
+|Complete sentence|`[家](うち)の{主}(あるじ)を*なめるなよ*…`|
+|Target word reading|`舐める【なめる】`|
+|Target word translation|`To underestimate`|
+|Complete sentence translation|`Don't underestimate the master of the house...`|
+
+### front
+
+<div class="card front" align="center" style="border: solid 2px gray; padding: 10px;">
+<span class="sentence parsed">家の<ruby>主<rt class="visible">あるじ</rt></ruby>を<b>なめるなよ</b>…</span>
+</div>
+
+### back
+
+<div class="card back" align="center" style="border: solid 2px gray; padding: 10px;">
+<span class="sentence parsed"><ruby>家<rt class="hidden">うち</rt></ruby>の<ruby>主<rt class="visible">あるじ</rt></ruby>を<b>なめるなよ</b>…</span>
+<hr class="split">
+<span class="target-word-reading">舐める【なめる】</span><br>
+<span class="target-word-translation">To underestimate</span><br>
+<span class="sentence-translation">Don't underestimate the master of the house...</span>
+</div>
+
+## syntax
+
+html is passed through, so inline styling (should) still work.
+
+|input|html output|example|
+|-|-|-|
+|`[kanji](furigana)`|`<ruby>kanji<rt>furigana</rt></ruby>`<br>(furigana visible on back side only)|<ruby>kanji<rt>furigana</rt></ruby>|
+|`{kanji}(furigana)`|`<ruby>kanji<rt>furigana</rt></ruby>`<br>(furigana visible on both sides)|<ruby>kanji<rt>furigana</rt></ruby>|
+|`*text*`|`<b>text</b>` (bold)|<b>text</b>|
+|`a\nb`|`a<br>b` (line break)|a<br>b|
+|`\\`|`\` (backslash)|\\|
+|`\[escaped](this)`|`[escaped](this)` (escaped furigana)|\[escaped](this)|
+
+## set-up
+
+i don't know how to create a teplate deck (if that's even a thing), so these
+are instructions to apply to an empty deck.
+
+1. run `make` to generate files
+2. Under Tools > Manage note types > (note type here) > Fields, make sure the
+   following fields exist (might be case-sensitive):
+   | |name|description|
+   |-|----|-----------|
+   |1|Complete sentence|Complete sentence with furigana and target word in bold|
+   |2|Target word reading|Dictionary reading of word (with word type)|
+   |3|Target word translation|(In context) translation of target word|
+   |4|Complete sentence translation|Complete sentence translation|
+3. In the 'Browse' view, click on Cards... (you might need to create a
+   temporary card in a deck) and paste the contents of front-template.html and
+   back-template.html in the front template and back template of the card type.
+   Make sure the Styling tab doesn't contain any code as this will override the
+   built-in styles.
+4. Profit
