Anki pinyin plugin (and in general pinyin input)

#1
Hey, it's been forever since I made a post but I am really stuck on Anki and I'm no computer pro. I downloaded a pinyin plugin successfully and I got it working for the most part. There is one problem though, all my cards have only answers and I tried messing around to see if I could make a 'question part' but I failed. Sad

Here is what I have my settings under (with pictures):

Question:

I just want to have a 汉字 deck where I have the 汉字 in front and all the nice fields on the answer. (It can be one answer field or a bunch of answers -- technically impossible on a traditional 'flash card') Does anyone have any advice or suggestions?

大家多谢!!!!

Question:
%汉字

This seems to be your problem. You forgot the brackets. {{汉字}} Smile

The syntax you're using, %(<field>), is deprecated in version 1.2.x (I don't know if it still works, but in your screenshot it doesn't seem so); instead, you should surround the field's name in {{ }} (double braces). Like this, in your case:

Question:
{{汉字}}

Answer:
{{彩色}}
{{拼音}}
{{声音}}
{{意思}}
{{量词}}

%(汉字)s still works even in 1.2.8 but the brackets are still missing in gyuujuice setup. I prefer the {{}} over the old format.

Another problem that can be seen in his screenshot (and I also tested it here) is that the old syntax isn't rendered properly in the Card Layout > Preview window, so that's another reason to change all the fields, including the ones in the answer. If I remember right, Damien (Anki developer) placed a converter under the hood but the recommendation was to use the new format from now on.
