Can MWS properly render split cards?
A. Yes and No, a single split is rendered fine; multi-split is not supported.
MWS split cards use a "//" to split data in the text field and "/" for data in all other fields. (without "")

Can MWS properly render flip cards?
A. ??, (someone please let me know if it can (what rule? instead of /), I'll edit thread)

Can MWS properly render level-up cards?
A. Yes and No, picture is fine since it is default size, text in bottom half is not.

Why even bother rendering split/flip/level-up cards when you can just use full images?
A. Depends on what the user wants out of MWS.
---Rendered cards can show data fields the user wants to see or not to see. (flavor/rules/etc)
---Rendered cards can have up to date rulings/errata. (good for MWS Play)
---Rendered cards use cropped pictures, saving disk space and improving MWS performance.
---Full images, well they are full images and are a simple way to work around MWS's render qualms.
---Full images make cards more recognizable. (playing off memory in MWS Play)


Split card masterbase render errors:
1.Color not showing on a side of the frame:
-cause: using incorrect split card rule
--example: color=r
---fix: color=r/r
2.Text only showing up on the bottom/left box
-cause: using incorrect split card rule
--example: text <hr> text
---fix: text//text

As of now, I can't figure out how to correctly render flip and level-up cards.
(heck, I can't seem to find any flip card crops!)
