()requested by acdenh). If you want literal [] in latex, use \left[
and \right].
-Fix crash when converting multiple cards at the same time between e.g.
Vocabulary card type and Map card type (reported by Gnome).

requires editing of the card content for each card anyhow (reported by Scott
Youngman).

format (reported by Gwern).

Ansgar Bohmann).
-No more superfluous empty lines for cards with RTL languages.
-When changing languagues, translate the window title immediately, instead
of after reboot.

-The way the tag field is prefilled for new cards is changed. By default, the
last used tag is used, regardless of card type. If you want the pre-2.2

bundled plugin you can activate.
-When exporting to the 'cards' format, the latex files are now pregenerated
and bundled (requested by Mark).
