npm package: @paperclipsapp/anki-apkg-export
Description: Generate decks for Anki (spaced repetition software)
Author: ewnd9
Latest version: 5.0.0

> This repository is a fork of [repeat-space/anki-apkg-export](https://github.com/repeat-space/anki-apkg-export).
> It was created to support another project of mine: [md2apkg](https://github.com/Steve2955/md2apkg).
> Currently, the changes within this repository are explicitly to support [md2apkg](https://github.com/Steve2955/md2apkg) since [repeat-space/anki-apkg-export](https://github.com/repeat-space/anki-apkg-export) hasn't been maintained well.
