===Naming Convention===
Each symbol that it's possible to display with the Cards and Dice font has a particular name that you need to put after a colon. The names are pretty easy to guess once you know the basic rules. For cards:
*The first
*The next next
<br>
===Examples in Tables===
Here are example cards displayed in their traditional colors for poker cards.
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align:center"
|style="padding:1em;"|{{CD|:
|{{CD|:
|{{CD|:heart3|red|3em}}
|{{CD|:spade4|black|3em}}
|-
|<nowiki>{{</nowiki>CD<nowiki>|</nowiki>:
|<nowiki>{{</nowiki>CD<nowiki>|</nowiki>:
|<nowiki>{{</nowiki>CD<nowiki>|</nowiki>:heart3<nowiki>|</nowiki>red<nowiki>|</nowiki>3em<nowiki>}}</nowiki>
|<nowiki>{{</nowiki>CD<nowiki>|</nowiki>:spade4<nowiki>|</nowiki>black<nowiki>|</nowiki>3em<nowiki>}}</nowiki>
|}
===Zark City Style===
And here are example cards displayed in the colors that match the Zark City deck.
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;"
|style="padding:1em;"|{{CD|:
|<nowiki>{{</nowiki>CD<nowiki>|</nowiki>:diamondA<nowiki>|</nowiki>deepskyblue<nowiki>|</nowiki>3em<nowiki>}}</nowiki>

|}
===Paragraph Text Shown with Inline cards===
Here is a random paragraph with cards shown inline.
Bob Ross placeholder text begin. I started painting as a hobby when I was little. I didn't know I had any talent. I believe talent is just a pursued interest. Anybody can do what I do. {{CD|::star3|green|2em}} Just go back and put one little more happy tree in there. Everybody's different. {{CD|::star3|gold|2em}}{{CD|::star3|purple|2em}}{{CD|::star3|royalblue|2em}}Trees are different. Let them all be individuals. We'll put some happy little leaves here and there. These things happen automatically. All you have to do is just let them happen. Everyone wants to enjoy the good parts - {{CD|::star3|royalblue|2em}}but you have to build the framework first. Let's do that again. I'm gonna start with a little Alizarin crimson and a touch of Prussian blue. The very fact that you're aware of suffering is enough reason to be overjoyed that you're alive and can experience it. If you do too much it's going to lose its effectiveness. {{CD|::star3|red|2em}} If you don't think every day is a good day - try missing a few. You'll see. In life you need colors. Fluff it up a little and hypnotize it. We can fix anything. Automatically, all of these beautiful, beautiful things will happen. There we go. Look at them little rascals.
===Extra Card Symbols===
There are a few extra cards you can display in addition to A-K in the five colored suits:
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;"
|{{CD|:starcarddark||3em}}
|{{CD|:starcardlight||3em}}
|{{CD|:wildcarddark||3em}}
|{{CD|:wildcardlight||3em}}
|-
|:starcarddark
|:starcardlight
|:wildcarddark
|:wildcardlight
|-
|{{CD|:cardspoker||3em}}
|{{CD|:cardsstar||3em}}
|{{CD|:cardsblank||3em}}
|{{CD|:cardback||3em}}
|-
|:cardspoker
|:cardsstar
|:cardsblank
|:cardback
|}
Line 63 ⟶ 104:
*D4 = four-sided die
*D6 = six-sided die with pips
*
*D8 = eight-sided die
*D10 = ten-sided die
Line 69 ⟶ 110:
*D20 = twenty-sided die
After the type of die, place a hyphen followed by the number you want it to display.
which would yield: {{CD|:D10-9|green|2em|}}
You can use capital or lowercase letters for the 'D'.

See also [[How to Use Pyramid Love Font]] for information on the font that lets you display pyramids.
Go to [[Grids and Chessboards]] for ready-made grids you can paste into your rules pages.
==Other Symbols for Game Materials / Contents Listing==
There are also a few extra symbols in the font that make it easy to indicate what materials are needed for a given game or to create labeling for rules examples. They are shown here with colors applied -- the same convention applies to these as to the dice and cards above. Choose any color, or leave that part blank and let the symbol show up as default black.
