Hello

I understand that there is no release yet. I got this error

$ markdown-to-anki flashcards.md

A suggestion: https://github.com/ewnd9/anki-apkg-export could be used to directly generate an apkg file.

Thanks for the feedback!

It looks like that error is node having trouble parsing the javascript I wrote. Are you running an older version of node by chance? (I.e. what does node --version output?)

IIRC, trailing commas in function arguments are a fairly new feature, so this package would probably break on older node versions before that syntax is supported.

Thank you for the feedback. Yes, my node version is old

    node --version
    v6.9.2

I'll use another installation.

BTW other projects dealing with markdown to anki or a similar short hand notation are

It works fine with node v8.9.4
