[ ] I've tried to disable other add-ons to see if there are any interactions present
[ ] My issue disappears when I hold shift while starting Anki.
[ ] I've checked if anyone else reported this problem before by looking through the issue reports. I also checked to see if there is a section about known issues in the add-on description, documentation, or README.

Back on the mac I tried to regenerate the cards in the browser using "Generate overlapping cloze" button on the toolbar as instructed by the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzBoDe3PgAc&list=PL3MozITKTz5Y9owI163AJMYqKwhFrTKcT
They regenerated, but the 5th card was not included even though the syntax was specified correctly.
If I removed the syntax, and then put it back by using "command + shift + c", the 5th card generated correctly.
It seems that "command + shift + c" is doing something beyond adding syntax.
Is there an alternative way to force the syntax to be re-read before regenerating the cards?
