### Anki Integration ###
+Yomichan features automatic flashcard creation for [Anki](http://ankisrs.net/), a free application designed to help you
+retain knowledge. While the [AnkiConnect](https://foosoft.net/projects/anki-connect/) plugin offers the best experience,
+it is also possible to create flashcards through [AnkiWeb](https://ankiweb.net/), provided you already have an account.
+
+#### Using AnkiConnect ####
+
+Installing the AnkiConnect plugin for Anki is the preferred way of enabling automatic flashcard creation in Yomichan.
+
1. Open the *Install Add-on* dialog by selecting *Tools* > *Add-ons* > *Browse & Install* in Anki.
2. Input *2055492159* into the text box labeled *Code* and press the *OK* button to proceed.
3. Restart Anki when prompted to do so in order to complete the installation of AnkiConnect.
-4. In Chrome, open the Yomichan options page by right-clicking the  icon and selecting *Options*.
-5. Check the *Enable AnkiConnect* checkbox in the *General Options* group.
-6. Activate the *Terms* or the *Kanji* tab, depending on the type of card template you wish to configure.
-7. Select the Anki deck and model to use when creating new cards (see the [Anki Manual](http://ankisrs.net/docs/manual.html) for more details).
-8. Populate the model fields with markup representing contextual properties for the current vocabulary term or Kanji:

+When using AnkiConnect, Anki must be kept running in the background for automatic flashcard creation to function.
+
+#### Using AnkiWeb ####
+
+Yomichan is able to create flashcards directly on AnkiWeb, assuming you have [registered an
+account](https://ankiweb.net/account/register). While this method can be convenient as it does not require Anki to be
+running to running in the background, some features are not supported due to technical limitations:
+
+* Preventing the creation of duplicate flashcards.
+* Embedding audio in flashcards via the `{audio}` marker.
+
+Your AnkiWeb login information must specified on the options page to make use of automatic flashcard creation. Note
+that AnkiWeb will temporarily block your IP address if there are too many login attempts; if this happens, just try
+again after waiting for about an hour.
+
+#### Flashcard Configuration ####
+
+Before flashcards can be automatically created through Yomichan, Anki must be configured as follows:
+
+1. In Chrome, open the Yomichan options page by right-clicking the  icon and selecting *Options*.
+2. Activate the *Terms* or the *Kanji* tab, depending on the type of card template you wish to configure.
+3. Select the Anki deck and model to use when creating new flashcards (see the [Anki Manual](http://ankisrs.net/docs/manual.html) for more details).
+4. Populate the model fields with markup representing contextual properties for the current vocabulary term or Kanji:

* `{audio}`: Audio sample of a native speaker's pronunciation in MP3 format (if available).
* `{expression}`: Term written in Kanji (will be written in Kana if Kanji is not available).

* `{glossary-list}`: List of definitions with items expressed as a numbered list.

* `{reading}`: Kana reading for the term (empty for terms where the expression is the reading).
