Jekyll plugin for converting Riichi mahjong text notation into SVG images.

See here for usage notes and demo.

First, add gem "jekyll-mahjong" to the :jekyll_plugins group in your Gemfile and run bundle install.

group :jekyll_plugins do
  gem "jekyll-mahjong"
end

Then, you need to ensure that Jekyll sees the stylesheet /_sass/mahjong.scss. For many Jekyll themes, this just means adding the following line to your site source's /assets/css/main.scss:

@import "mahjong";

After installing the plugin and building your site once, you'll find /assets/tiles/*.svg and /_sass/mahjong.scss in your site's source directory. If you want, you can add them to your .gitignore. If you already have those files in your source directory, jekyll-mahjong won't overwrite them unless you specifically enable overwriting (see next section).

All styling is done through /_sass/mahjong.scss; you can modify it to adjust parameters like the height of tiles, space between tile groups, etc.

Similarly, you can replace the /assets/tiles/*.svg files with your own tile SVGs; just make sure that you follow the existing filenames.

Finally, if you want jekyll-mahjong to overwrite those files with the built-in version every time you build your site (e.g., for updating the built-in version) In your _config.yml, you can add the following lines:

jekyll-mahjong:
  overwrite_SCSS: true # default: false
  overwrite_tiles: true # default: false

Face-up Tile SVGs are originally from this Font. I ripped and reorganized the SVGs.
