codeButton is an Anki 2.1 addon that modifies the note editor toolbar to add a formatting button which wraps the currently-selected text in <code></code> HTML tags. This is useful for notes that include command line interface (CLI) commands, programming keywords, and so on.

The following instructions assume that you already:

1. have Anki 2.1 installed and
2. have a basic understanding of how to edit and format notes.

1. Clone this repository to your computer.
2. In Anki, select Tools, then Add-ons.
3. In the Add-ons menu, select View Files.
4. This should open your Add-ons directory, which may be called addons21.
5. Copy the repository directory created in step 1 into the Add-ons directory.
6. If done correctly, the Add-ons directory should contain a directory called codeButton, which contains a file called __init__.py.
7. Restart Anki (i.e. exit and reopen).

After reopening Anki, click the Add button to open the note editor. In the top toolbar, you should now see an additional button at the end labeled <>.

Enter some text in any of the note fields, highlight a portion of that text, and click the <> button. The highlighted text should now appear in fixed-width font. If you view the HTML for the field, you should see the highlighted text is wrapped in <code></code> tags.

If the button doesn't appear, go to the main Anki window and select Tools, then Add-ons. Make sure that the codeButton addon is in the list and is enabled.

To disable, go to the main Anki window and select Tools, then Add-ons. Disable the codeButton addon. You can also click View Files to open the Add-ons directory and delete the codeButton subdirectory from it.
