The Anki Sync plugin enables powerful flashcard creation and synchronization between your notes and Anki, using a flexible, markup-based syntax. Unlike traditional solutions, it allows cloze deletions within LaTeX math and code blocks using custom blocks like `replaceblock` and `clozeblock`. Cards support rich formatting, including math, code, tables, and images, and are synced with options to create, update, or delete based on changes in your vault. Decks and tags can be set per-file or per-block, and the plugin also performs automatic backups of Anki decks before each sync.

The Simple Anki Sync plugin provides an efficient way to push Markdown-based flashcards directly into Anki using AnkiConnect. It supports syncing individual files or entire vaults with a single command, handling deck and subdeck structures via tags like `#anki/MyDeck/Subdeck`. Flashcards are written as minimal Markdown tables and can include LaTeX math, images with size adjustments, and line breaks. Quality-of-life features include automatic deck renaming, backlinks to source notes, and tag assignment for easy filtering in Anki. Deleted cards in Obsidian are also removed from Anki during sync, keeping both systems aligned.
