About this plugin
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.
