Card Converter is a WordPress plugin with poker bloggers in mind, but it can be used by anyone who would like to display playing cards in posts and comments. It will take card abbreviations such as Ad (meaning Ace of diamonds) and convert it to a CSS graphical-like representation of the card. Inspiration for the plugin came from Chris Halverson‘s Pokerhand plugin and the CSS cards on the World Poker Tour Fan Site.
The plugin has moved to the WordPress Plugin Repository. All development and files will be available there from now on.

One of the comment filters in Word Perfect is removing the <span> tags used to style the card. If anyone knows a way around this, let me know.

Fixed. If you’ve already downloaded and installed it, download again and make sure to follow the new step 3 above.

You need to place <card> to the left of the card and </card> to the right of the card.
For instance…
<card>Ad</card>
will produce this…
