Texas Hold'em Cards

Texas Hold'em Cards lets you insert playing cards anywhere in your posts, pages or comments using a shortcode. The main shortcode is [wouf_card]. A configurable alias (default [card]) is also available. Cards are rendered as inline SVG: crisp at any size, no external images, no JavaScript. Basic usage: [wouf_card]As Kh[/wouf_card] Displays an Ace of Spades and a King of Hearts. Rank notation: A K Q J T 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 Suit notation: s (♠ spades) h (♥ hearts) d (♦ diamonds) c (♣ clubs) Special tokens:

• ?? — face-down card (card back)
• PP — face-down deck (stack of cards)
• _ — half-card spacer (visually separates hole cards from the board)

Spaces, commas, semicolons, hyphens and pipes may be used as visual separators between cards and are ignored during parsing. Shortcode attributes:

• width — card width in pixels (default: plugin setting, initially 60 px; min 20, max 300). Height scales automatically at ratio ×1.4.
• align — inline (default), left, center or right. Non-inline values wrap the hand in a block-level div.
• colors — 2 (default: ♠♣ black, ♥♦ red) or 4 (♠ black, ♥ red, ♦ blue, ♣ green). The 4-color mode is widely used in online poker for readability.
• gap — gap between cards in pixels. Defaults to ~8% of card width.

Plugin settings (Settings → Texas Hold'em Cards):

• Shortcode alias (default: card)
• Default card width
• Default alignment
• Default color scheme (2-color / 4-color)
• Enable shortcodes in comments

Examples: [wouf_card]As Kh[/wouf_card] → Inline: A♠ K♥ [wouf_card width="90" align="center"]As Kh _ Td Jc Qh[/wouf_card] → Centered, larger cards. Hole cards separated from the flop by a half-card spacer. [wouf_card align="center"]?? Kh _ Td Jc Qh _ PP[/wouf_card] → Hidden card, K♥, flop, remaining deck. [wouf_card colors="4"]As Kh Qd Jc[/wouf_card] → 4-color deck: ♠ black, ♥ red, ♦ blue, ♣ green. [wouf_card gap="2"]As Kh[/wouf_card] → Tighter gap between cards.
