Compatible with DokuWiki

Description
Chessdiagram converts FEN notation or an alternative 8×8-layout to a chess diagram using HTML with 8×8 images. The syntax can be localized - completely. English and German is available.
Thanks to ...
To achieve this i embedded PHP code from vyvy at http://www.vyvy.org/ (obsolete) which completely renders the chess diagram. The rest was simply a plugin template extended with the localization features and optimizing the chess images.
Many thanks to this really great plugin. Further information is available on the original website (obsolete). It was primarily developed for b2evolution.
Syntax
Copy the FEN syntax between <chessdiagram></chessdiagram> or simply add an 8×8 ASCII board with the English abbreviations (kqrbnp).
You can add advanced options with “(flags)” before the chessdiagram (in both variants). Flags can be:
- Borders: T B L R for top, bottom, left and right borders
- Number of fields (width): positive integer
- Colour of upper left corner: l d for light(white) or dark(black)
Fields can be marked with the character “x”.
In the german translation TBLR can be achived with OULR (oben, unten, links, rechts) and “w” or “s” is used instead of l or d (weiss, schwarz). It is up to the administrator of your site.
