/** | |
* This bookmarklet makes it possible to transfer words from Leo Trainer to Anki. | |
* It is configured for fr-de (French to German) translations, but can easily be | |
* adapted to other languages. | |
* | |
* Prerequisites: | |
* - a Leo account (http://www.leo.org/) with a few words saved in the trainer | |
* - an Anki account (https://ankiweb.net/account/register) | |
* | |
* 1. Crunch the following code and add it to your bookmarks | |
* (see http://ted.mielczarek.org/code/mozilla/bookmarklet.html) | |
* 2. Run the bookmarklet | |
* (you might have to run it twice, as the first run will lead you to the correct Leo page) | |
* 3. Import the downloaded file in Anki using \t as field separator and allowing HTML in fields | |

@paulwiniecki I just tested the bookmarklet, and it seems to be still working.
The code snippet you posted is hard to read because of incorrect markdown formatting. I can see however that you have made more modifications than needed, and this is likely the cause of your troubles.
I suggest you restart from the code I shared at the very top. You only need to change line 19, so that it looks like:
