Note, a card is represented by a suit name followed by a space and
the denomination. Line breaks should not occur in the middle
of a card. Tens are represented as '10' in the output. There should be no
space after the card. Also, when your mouse hovers over a card, (most?) browsers will put up a tool tip with the long name of the card (e.g., "spade jack.")
Cards - 2
Input:
Alternatively, you can use the <em>card</em> tag - for
example
<card code="SA"/> or <card code="HT"/>
- to represent a card.
XSL Output:
Alternatively, you can use the
card tag - for
example
♠ A or
♥ 10
- to represent a card.
I'm not sure which is better, but I thought I'd give some
flexibility.
Cards - 3
Input:
Alternatively, you can use the <em>card</em> namespace,
for example
<card:SA/> or <card:HT/>
- to represent a card.
XSL Output:
Alternatively, you can use the
card namespace,
for example
♠ A or
♥ 10
- to represent a card.
This is by far the most economical in the code, but it requires you to declare the card: namespace.
Suit Holdings
Input:
<p>I held <spade cards="AJT43"/>, which
is the same as <holding cards="S:AJT43"/>.</p>
<p>I can also write a holding without a suit,
such as <holding cards="KJT9642"/>.</p>
<p>A void is represented as <holding cards=""/>, or,
when with a suit, <holding cards="S:"/>. Suit tags
can be used similarly: <diamond cards=""/>.</p>
XSL Output:
I held ♠ A-J-10-4-3, which
is the same as ♠ A-J-10-4-3.
I can also write a holding without a suit,
such as K-J-10-9-6-4-2.
A void is represented as —, or,
when with a suit, ♠ —. Suit tags
can be used similarly: ♦ —.
There are two seperate ways of writing a holding, with the <holding> tag
or with one of the suit tags. Formatted with hyphens between cards, per
Pavlicek. With the suit tags, note that the attribute cards
is plural when representing holdings, even when representing a holding
of one card or a void.
