As for the changing cards, my guess is that it helps with finding related cards since notes are linked together naturally. For example, you can see what lemmas/theorems are used to build up a more powerful theorem, and access those notes directly.

I guess there's no harm in me publishing the link to the Github repository -

Goodness, this is quite elaborate! Thank you for sharing.

No problem! You might want to take a look at the regex.md file - I've implemented custom syntax (including a question-answer format) using regular expressions, so it's very customisable.

It’s funny: my approach has been to create a format which has very minimal impact on the prose notes—almost trying to make the SRS cards invisible. You’ve taken quite an opposite approach!
How does it seem to affect how it feels to work with the prose?

Well, I've never been one to care too much about how my notes look (my Anki cards can attest to that!), so it's fine for me. In fact, it's nice to distinguish information that I want in an SRS system (i.e. easily retrievable) vs other knowledge that's still useful in notes.

For example I might put a snippet about the history behind a particular concept - interesting, but not something I need to recall at all times.

To be honest though, I've spent the majority of my time recently developing the script and adding features that I haven't properly used the script myself! Though I have been making Anki cards in notes for a while.

Speaking of - just added a 'CurlyCloze' option inspired by your cloze syntax!

I also see you added my script to your notes - thank you! I worry I was misleading - you still have to run the script manually over the file to update it, like Ankify.
