This "extension" of yours is getting pretty serious... Do you want to "take over" the name "incremental Reading"?

I'll not be developping it anymore, and since your version is much better than mine, there is no reason for mine to continue to exist.

Should I erase my addon so that you can upload the code under that name?

New Incremental Reading Extension update includes a NEW Queue-Based Scheduler (independent of SRS scheduling) and Organizer.

Full rewritten explanation of the Incremental Reading Extension below (formatting works better in the forum than in the Anki Addons site). Search for the Scheduler to see what's new. 

Incremental Reading Extension

Incremental Reading is a way to read many articles concurrently and efficiently add spaced repetition cards to Anki in the process. In essence, you add reading material to an Incremental Reading deck in Anki and read it as time permits. As you read, you can highlight important passages and extract them into separate cards in Anki, either for further refinement, or as final SRS cards in another Anki deck. When you have finished reading an article, you will have incorporated all the important knowledge into your Anki deck(s) and can delete it, confident that the knowledge will be continually reinforced by Anki’s core SRS function.

Example using Add Cards Shortcut defined to create a new card in Incremental Reading 2 deck with IRead2 model and using yellow highlight to mark the extracted text in the original article.

The Incremental Reading Extension addon relies on the View Size Adjust addon for several important navigation and keyboard shortcut capabilities. Be sure to add both addons before you begin.

NOTE on UPGRADING:  This version changes the IRead2 model. Changing the model will require you to modify your existing IRead2 cards (removing little used Model and Deck fields, adding Title) or delete the IRead2 model and all associated cards before installing the upgrade.

NOTE on the original Incremental Reading addon:   The Incremental Reading Extension addon is a fork (an alternative) of the original Incremental Reading addon. Do not attempt to install both concurrently.

Features 

The Incremental Reading Extension, along with the View Size Adjust addon, supports incremental reading in Anki with the following features:

·      Keyboard navigation

o   PgUp, PgDn, ArrowUp, ArrowDown

o   Also available from the Edit menu

·      Keeping track of where you left off in each article

o   Scroll to last viewed text when the card is loaded

o   Uses same ‘zoom factor’ you last used for the same card

·      Adjust the size of the text as needed

o   Ctrl++ to increase text size

o   Ctrl+- to decrease text size

o   Saves selected size with each card and reapplies when shown

o   Also available from the Edit menu

·      Highlighting of text

o   Select and hit ‘h’

o   Custom colors (Hit Alt+2 to open a dialog. Also available from Edit menu)

o   Anti-highlighting option (color text, rather than background)

·      Custom keyboard shortcuts for adding cards efficiently

o   Alt+1 to create a custom shortcut

o   Choose deck, card model, shortcut key combination, highlighting, field into which to paste selected text, and to whether or not you want to see the add/edit dialogs.

o   Automatically copies Tags from source Incremental Reading card to the new card created using the keyboard shortcut.

o   Automatically copies Source field from Incremental Reading card to the new card created using the keyboard shortcut (if new card model has a Source field).

o   Shortcuts are added to the Edit menu as they are created.

o   Removing a shortcut is done by disabling it using the same dialog. Hit Alt+1, choose the same key combination and uncheck ‘Enabled’ checkbox.

·      (NEW) Independent scheduling algorithm more suitable to Incremental Reading

o   Queue depth based, rather than time-based

o   Configurable ‘Soon’ and ‘Later’ scheduling buttons. Dialog for editing these options is available in the Tools menu (‘Incremental Reading Scheduler Options’). Options include:

§  Push a card to a specific depth (count or position) in the queue

§  Push a card to a percentage depth into the queue

§  Apply randomness to either approach

o   Custom organizer dialog.

§  Move any card to any position in the queue

§  Bulk moves

§  Opened from Tools menu (‘Incremental Reading Organizer’).

§  Also opened from ‘custom’ answer button when working with Incremental Reading cards in the Anki Reviewer.

 

To Show Editor or Not to Show Editor

A couple of options on the Add Shortcut dialog (Alt-1) require explanation:

Show Add Cards dialog – This checkbox is checked by default. When you invoke the keyboard shortcut, the Add Cards dialog will be opened as it normally is when you add cards in Anki. It will be prepopulated with the Deck and Card Model you’ve chosen. If this checkbox is unchecked, the shortcut will add the card automatically without opening the Add Cards dialog. This is a convenience for incremental reading where a frequent activity is creating smaller, but still large, extracts from a source article and feeding those back into the Incremental Reading deck. The shortcut takes care of populating all fields with reasonable values in that case, making opening the dialog inconvenient (because you then have to close it).

Show Edit Current dialog – The original Incremental Reading addon opened two dialogs every time you attempted to add a new card. First it opened the Edit Current dialog, which contains the same card you were just looking at, but in editing mode. Second it opened the Add Cards dialog that you would normally expect. The advantage to this option is that you can delete the text from the original article as you do extracts, rather than highlighting. Personally, I prefer highlighting and deleting the entire original article at the end when I’m done with it.

Scheduling Algorithm for Incremental Reading

Anki’s normal scheduling algorithm is designed to support Spaced Repetition and address the “forgetting curve.” It makes very little sense to try to schedule reading material using the “forgetting curve” and its increasing intervals. Instead, incremental reading is really a matter of prioritizing a large number of articles based on your interest level and the importance you place on each article. Accordingly, a different scheduling algorithm is required.

For incremental reading, the goal is to manage a queue of articles and to be able to reprioritize each article every time you read it. It should also be possible to find an article you want to see, no matter where it is in the queue, and bring it forward. And periodically, you may want to review the entire queue and organize it in a specific way.

The scheduling algorithm attempts to meet the above goals without interfering with Anki’s normal scheduler or dramatically changing the Anki interface. To do so, it effectively removes the Incremental Reading cards from the Anki scheduler and keeps all the incremental reading cards permanently in the NEW queue. This keeps all Incremental Reading cards available all the time (not hidden away in a REVIEW queue to be shown again in a few days, weeks or months).

An incremental reading card will always have three buttons labeled ‘Soon’, ‘Later’ and ‘Custom’.  The meaning of ‘Soon’ and ‘Later’ is configurable, but essentially means ‘This is important and I want to see it again Soon’ or ‘This is less important, don’t show it to me again until Later.’  If, despite configuration, you don’t get the behavior you want, or if you want to handle a card specially, there is the ‘Custom’ button, which opens the Organizer dialog to let you put that card wherever you want in the queue.

Configuration of the ‘Soon’ and ‘Later’ scheduling options is available from the Tools -> Incremental Reading Scheduler Options menu item. Options include:

·      Position – Treat the configured value as a simple position number.

·      Percent – Treat the configured value as a percentage value

·      Random – Apply some randomness to the placement of the item using the configured count or percentage value.

·      Value – The numeric value. It represents either a count or a percentage.

Position vs Percent

If you choose Position and don’t apply Random, then hitting the button in question will directly place the card at the position you indicated. If you apply Random, it will place the card at a random position between 1 and the Position you indicated.

If you choose Percent and don’t apply Random, then hitting the button in question will calculate the position as a percentage of the queue depth and place the card at that position. If you apply Random, it will place the card at a random position between 1 and the calculated position by percentage.

The above explanations apply for the ‘Soon’ button. The ‘Later’ button differs only in that the placement of the card will be between the Position or Percentage given for ‘Soon’ and the Position or Percentage given for ‘Later’. Thus, if you specify 10 Percent for ‘Soon’ and 50 Percent for ‘Later’, the ‘Later’ button will place the card at a position between 10 and 50 percent into the queue.

Organizer 

The Organizer is a dialog that shows a list of all the cards in the Incremental Reading deck. It can be accessed from the Tools menu. 

There is a checkbox next to each card that can be used to select an individual card or many cards and move them up or down in the queue.  To move a card up, check the box next to that card and click the ‘Up’ button. To move a card down, click the ‘Down’ button. If multiple cards are checked, they move up or down together.

If a selected card cannot be moved up because it has hit the top of the queue or because the card above it is also selected, it will not be moved. Cards selected below it can move up until all selected cards make a contiguous block. The same applies for moving cards down alone or in bulk.

The ‘Pin Top/Bottom’ checkbox at the top locks the top-most (or bottom-most) item in place while ‘Up’ or ‘Down’ are clicked to move other selected items, allowing you to ‘anchor’ a block of selected items anywhere in the queue.

The Card Position field at the top of the Organizer allows you to specify a position to directly move the top-most selected item to. If multiple items are selected, they move up or down together.

 

Compatibility and Upgrading

Update your View Size Adjust addon. You need the most recent of both the Incremental Reading Extension addon and the View Size Adjust addon.

IRead2 Card Model has changed.

·      Removed Model and Deck fields.  The original IRead2 card has Model and Deck fields that were needed by the predecessor Incremental Reading addon. With the custom shortcuts approach used by Incremental Reading Extension, they are no longer needed. Accordingly, they have been removed.

·      Added ‘Title’ field. Using the Organizer requires you to be able to identify each card sufficiently to be able to prioritize it in the queue. Adding a ‘Title’ field makes that possible.

Changing the IRead2 model means that for those of you who are upgrading, there is a little work. Here are the options for doing the upgrade.

Option 1 – Delete the IRead2 card model before applying the new addons. This will delete all IRead2 cards in your collections. The addons will create the new IRead2 card model when installed.

Option 2 – Modify the IRead2 model before updating the addon.

·      Delete the Anki Deck field and the Model field. Anki will warn you that it will be modifying your collection in a way that makes it incompatible with the copy in the cloud or on other devices. You will need to do a full sync afterwards.

·      Add the Title field and position it as the first field in the model. Also check the radio button that says to use that field for sorting in the Browser.

As suggested, I am adding a topic for a couple of related addons that I've contributed:  The View_Size_Adjust addon and the Incremental_Reading_Extension addon. They are related in that the Incremental Reading Extension is much more useful with the View Size Adjust addon, which provides several functionalities that while generally useful in Anki, are critical to an effective Incremental Reading capability:

• Adjusting the size of the text when reading longer articles (Ctrl++ or Ctrl+-)
• Navigation keys for arrow up/down, page up and page down
• Ability to save the position in an article to support coming back at a later point in time and picking up where you left off (hence the term 'incremental')
• Ability to highlight text to indicate where cards have already been extracted, or simply to highlight the text if you plan to keep the longer article and read it with highlighted portions.
• Ability to add custom shortcuts for extracting and adding cards to Anki using specific card models and decks

Most of these capabilities are useful independent of the Incremental Reading concept, so I have View Size Adjust as a separate addon. Arguably, it is poorly named at this point since the majority of functionality is really about navigation and shortcuts, but in order to avoid littering the Anki addon landscape with previously named versions, I kept it the same. 

Latest update added some more customization options to the custom shortcuts:

• Added ability to specify shortcuts with any combination of Ctrl + Alt + Shift + Key. This includes the ability to set single key shortcuts. This allows the ability to override the default behavior of the 'x' and 'c' shortcuts.
  
• Added the 'showEditCurrent' dialog option when creating a new shortcut. This is unchecked by default. It mirrors the original 'x' and 'c' shortcut operation and opens the 'Edit Current' window to allow you to edit the current card while you are also adding another card in the separate 'Add Cards' dialog.

I will try to monitor this thread, but please understand that this is a purely voluntary effort as time permits. Hope that you can get some use out these plugins.

Sorry, I was writing that at night and without good thinking.

1. Yes, that manual.

2. The issue of MS HTML is that the code is not readable.

3. By "Markdown or ReStructuredText" I meant to say "an editor that uses
a simpler markup language".
* The editor I took the language names from (but haven't used before) is
ReText <http://sourceforge.net/p/retext/>; a screenshot
<http://sourceforge.net/p/retext/screenshot/retext-kde.png> — on the
left is the editor, on the right is the auto-updated preview; there is
no information on whether it works on Windows.
* Another editor, which is WYSIWYG and according to the FAQ runs also on
Windows, is a desktop wiki called Zim (the site says it was written in
it): http://www.zim-wiki.org/

4. The real issue is what happens to the image names (%-encoding).  It
doesn't happen with manual editing.


5. Yes, entering HTML code from web pages works, of course.  Only some
articles like "sleep.htm" at supermemo.com are too long to be used in
Anki without splitting.  Also, images do not get included by copying the
code.

But I would like to be able to copy links to paste into my browser.
Anki and the browser are running from different accounts, and I don't
really want to connect them.  But maybe link copying could be added to Anki.

Thanks Damien!

In release 2.0.11 it still has the same error. Can I fix it somehow?
