*If you forget to leave a blank pipe and you instead type this: '''<nowiki>{{</nowiki><font color=blue>CD</font>|<font color=green>::MPN</font>|<font color=purple>3em</font><nowiki>}}</nowiki>''', the Wiki will interpret your desired color as "3em" and not know what that color is, so it will default to black instead.

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 letter will always be '''L''', '''M''', or '''S''' for a Large, Medium, or Small pyramid.
*The first letter will always be the suit of the card. You'll type '''club''', '''diamond''', '''heart''', '''spade''', or '''star'''.
*The next next letter will be '''P''' for Pointing.
*The next next letters will be the rank of the card you're displaying. A, 2, 3, up to K. You can use uppercase or lowercase.
*The third letter will say which way the pyramid should point, often '''N'''orth, '''S'''outh, '''E'''east, or '''W'''est.
