Hey Ben,

It sounds like you are potentially using the wrong import menu.

I assume you are clicking here?

This is the correct menu:

The File > Import is the built in Anki way to handle imports and completed different from normal imports

The answer is always simple when you know it! I think the docs could probably be clearer tbh

On another note, why does the HTML file from a Word document differ from a HTML file from a Libre document?
I am wondering. Not a technical user. Just an every day Joe.

Also, this does not work for either Libre or Word.

On another note, why does the HTML file from a Word document differ from a HTML file from a Libre document?

As for the why I could not even being to guess but the TLDR of the situation is as follows:

Microsoft word generates a html file where the contents of the document look correct but are generally not using standard html syntax to actually render the format. The best example of this is the list syntax where it just inserts icons and white spacing to what looks like a list to the users.

In comparison LibreOffice generates "proper" html syntax that is much easier to parse into metadata so that I can generate a card.

I'm sure there is some legacy reason why word is doing this. Word will also generate different html / file encoding depending on what system is is run from. It also re-encodes the entire html file if you open and save it. It just ended up being to much hassle and I really don't think I'm going to support it in future

from org_to_anki.

Can you send me a screen shot of the list and possible and attach the html file and I will have a look.

I assume you are using bullet points in the LibreOffice document? As from above I would not advise using Word as it will likely just throw errors

I'm not sure you are able to attach files to the actual github issues.

You can either pastebin them or email me at okellyconor at gmail.com
