How?
How these cards are prepared
The tool trims rows, ignores empty rows, and keeps rows with both front and
back text for print and export. CSV and TSV import follow RFC 4180 (quoted
fields, doubled quotes, UTF-8). Spreadsheet clipboards are tab-separated, so
a cell is quoted only for a tab, newline, or quote, never a comma. Auto
detect checks tab, comma, and semicolon before pipe, so a pipe list whose
definitions contain commas needs the Pipe format selected; Lines mode starts
a new card at each blank line and joins the remaining lines of a block into
the back. The Anki copy escapes the ampersand and angle brackets so
#html:true renders inequalities and ampersands correctly. Print
dimensions come from the selected page size, margin, and card grid.
Formula: valid cards = rows with front and back text; duplex backs mirror each row
