Example sentence when creating Anki flashcards

I want to request this feature since I really like this app and it's Anki flashcard feature. I like that you can add example sentences automatically but the only small problem sometimes is that a given dictionary might have a ton of example sentences, far too many for my Anki card. I would like to ask for the option to limit the # of sentences to any number selected in the settings. For example, maybe just 1, 3 or 5 or whatever the user wants to limit the # to.

My 2nd request is the ability to send these example sentences to a different Anki field, not just the definition field. Allowing us to add the examples to any field we choose. I think it would let us do the organizing of example sentences through Anki css styling to be a lot more convenient and neat, and wouldn't have to involve the definition.

Thank you for your consideration!

Thanks!

With your first suggestion, would it maybe be better to limit it to one sentence per word sense? My concern about taking simply X many from the beginning is that you might end up with a lot of sentences illustrating one of them and zero sentences illustrating another.

With the second suggestion, I guess we'd be outputting these as formatted HTML?

Oh yeah when there's multiple senses, I'd limit it to 1 or 2 sentences.

I just remembered. For outputting sentences, while the formatted html (the colors and styles included right?) is nice, I'd like to also see a "output as plaintext" option as well.

And if possible, an option to not output the sentence reading and translations of sentences please (2 separate buttons or together as one I think is good, I don't use both in my Anki cards and they take up a lot of space on my phone)
