# Japanese sentences (nb)
This is Tatsumoto's [Japanese sentences][] template which I've altered to my
liking. I'm not sure why would anyone prefer this one, but in such unlikely
case it is here for your convenience.
## What's different?
In this document I will only mention the modifications to the original
template; for general information about it refer to the link above.
### Single template for both targeted sentence cards and word cards
The template was altered to show `VocabKanji`/`VocabFurigana` pair in place of
`SentKanji`/`SentFurigana` when the former are empty. This makes it suitable
not only for sentence cards, but for word cards too. In fact, I have converted
my entire collection (which contains both mined notes and the entirety of
[Ankidrone Starter Pack][]) to this note type and enjoy the following benefits
of having single card type for all purposes:
* Whenever I want to convert a word card to a TSC card or the other way
around, I don't have to do a full database upload on the next sync.
* If I want to change the appearance of my cards, there is only one place to
make edits to, instead of two or more.
### Added fields, removed fields
* `Source` field was added for sake of recording the origin of a mined
sentence. It is displayed in less prominent fashion than the `Notes` field
and doesn't distract you from the actual notes that you might have. This
feature was shamelessly borrowed from cyphar's [Japanese Mined Sentences][]
template.
* `MorphManFocus` field was removed together with its related JavaScript and
styling, since I don't use MorphMan.
* `VocabPitchNum` field was removed together with pitch accent colorizing
script. I found the colorization annoying, and apart from machine
processing, pitch numbers are superseded by proper pitch accent annotations
presented in the `VocabPitchPattern` field.
## Screenshots
Below are the screenshots of *Recognition* cards. *Production* cards are not
much different.

## Configuration
Most of the instructions for *Japanese sentences* template apply here as well,
with few changes.
### *Yomichan* settings
I prefer letting [AJT Pitch Accent][] add-on generate pitch accents instead of
*Yomichan*, as HTML produced by the former is much cleaner than that of the
latter. Therefore, *Yomichan*'s card format configuration becomes even
simpler:
| Field | Value |
| --------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| `SentKanji` | `{cloze-prefix}<b>{cloze-body}</b>{cloze-suffix}` |
| `VocabKanji` | `{expression}` |
| `VocabFurigana` | `{furigana-plain}` |
| `VocabDef` | `{glossary-brief}` |
### *mpvacious* settings
Make sure that your `subs2srs.conf` contains these lines:
miscinfo_enable=yes
miscinfo_field=Source
## Tips and tricks
* If you want to try this template out, you don't need to say goodbye to
contents of `MorphManFocus` and `VocabPitchNum` fields in your cards.
Import the template, then manually add these two fields back. After that,
you can convert your notes with no data loss. `antp.sh update` will work
safely as well.
* *Ankidrone Starter Pack* decks *N2* and *N1* contain item numbers in the
`Notes` field. When converting them, you may want to map `Notes` to
`Source`.
