Texas Hold'em Cards<\/strong> lets you insert playing cards anywhere in your posts, pages or comments using a shortcode.<\/p>\n\n

The main shortcode is [wouf_card]<\/code>. A configurable alias (default [card]<\/code>) is also available.\nCards are rendered as inline SVG: crisp at any size, no external images, no JavaScript.<\/p>\n\n

Basic usage:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

      Plugin settings (Settings \u2192 Texas Hold'em Cards):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

        [wouf_card]As Kh[\/wouf_card]\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n
        \u2192 Inline: A\u2660 K\u2665<\/p>\n\n

          \n
        1. In your WordPress admin, go to Plugins \u2192 Add New<\/strong>, search for Texas Hold'em Cards<\/strong> and click Install Now<\/strong>.\nOr upload the texas-holdem-cards<\/code> folder to \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> manually.<\/li>\n
        2. Activate the plugin in Plugins \u2192 Installed Plugins<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
        3. Optional: adjust settings in Settings \u2192 Texas Hold'em Cards<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
        4. Use the [wouf_card]<\/code> shortcode in any post, page, widget or comment.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
          \n
          Does it work in the block editor (Gutenberg)?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
          Yes. Use a Shortcode<\/strong> block and paste your [wouf_card]<\/code> shortcode.<\/p><\/dd>\n
          Can I change the shortcode alias?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
          Yes. Go to Settings \u2192 Texas Hold'em Cards<\/strong>. The main [wouf_card]<\/code> shortcode always remains available.<\/p><\/dd>\n
          What is the 4-color mode?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
          In 4-color mode, each suit has a distinct color: \u2660 black, \u2665 red, \u2666 blue, \u2663 green. This is standard in online poker clients and greatly improves readability when suits matter (flushes, flush draws).<\/p><\/dd>\n
          Can readers post hands in comments?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
          Yes \u2014 enable \"Shortcodes in comments\" in the plugin settings.<\/p><\/dd>\n
          What happens if I write an invalid card (e.g. `Xz`)?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
          Invalid cards are silently ignored. The shortcode never produces broken output.<\/p><\/dd>\n
          Are there any external requests?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
          No. Everything is inline SVG generated server-side. No fonts, no CDN, no JavaScript.<\/p><\/dd>\n
          Can I style the cards with CSS?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
          The hand wrapper has classes thc-hand<\/code> and thc-colors-2<\/code> or thc-colors-4<\/code>. Individual SVGs have inline styles; override them with !important<\/code> if needed.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
