[Idea] spoiler tag
#1
Added a simple spoiler tag, just use
Code:
[spoiler]
hidden text
[/spoiler]
to get the following:

hidden text

now I hope Feallan can find a way to add a button to the editor...

Please, use it for very long text, like mediainfo for examples.

Oh, and report if it doesn't work on some browser/OSs.

Ah, this is cool! But as Carl Sagan might say ...

... waiting to be known. A mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam, kindling the energy hidden in the cosmic ocean of another world of rock and gas. Dream of the mind's eye muse of something incredible waiting to be known in the great turbulent clouds of the Rig Veda Euclid network. Of brilliant syntheses, the imagination circumnavigates the taht sky calls to us. Billions upon billions upon billions!

Vanquish the impossible at the edge of forever! Stirred by starlight of stellar alchemy, the brilliant syntheses intelligent beings is emerged into consciousness, from which we spring. Great turbulent clouds hydrogen atoms. Not a sunrise but a galaxyrise.

The cosmic fugue of global carbon in our mind's eye. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence across the centuries. Globular dreams of the cosmic fugue. A more glorious dawn awaits, emerged into consciousness intelligent beings. Preserve and cherish that pale blue dot corpus callosum.

I'm still thinking you are used to some kind of strange substance... or, simpy, drink too much beer! Happy

As recorded in The Making Of  Star Trek book (Gene Roddenberry as spokesman no doubt):

Q: Are you people on LSD?
A: We tried, but we couldn’t keep it lit.

Fortunately, I never needed LSD.   Blush

BTW, the "Carl Sagan text" was generated by Sagan (Lorem) Ipsum auto-text-generator (with grammar clean-up by me).

Wikipedia Wrote:The Power Macintosh 7100's internal code name was "Carl Sagan", one of the the three "fraud" code names (Pilt Down Man, Cold Fusion, and Carl Sagan) referring to the PowerPC processor pretending to be a 68000. ... Apple renamed the project to "BHA" (for Butt-Head Astronomer). ... The engineers on the project made a third and final name change from "BHA" to "LAW", short for "Lawyers Are Wimps".

That was following Sagan's failed lawsuits about the codenames (originally in-house, and later "leaked" out). To prevent any more suits, Apple apologized.   Rolleyes

Hey, interactive forums are fun!   Smile

But, seriously, I was going to suggest a few "classes" (just names really) of spoiler buttons. Besides Spoiler, we could also have ... Confidential (don't tell anyone) ... or/and ... Rated M (for "mature") ... or such.

Once the spoiler button is programmed, the subject-types would be in a drop-down to select.

OT has now a (new?) feature, an "expand-collapse" very similar to our spoiler tag - you can see an example here

Started a thread on OT using its feature - which is not explicit, but "hidden" somehow...

http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/a-whole...s/id/56009

replicated it here, using the "hide" tag - it's the same as the "spoiler" one, except it says "expand/collapse"...

https://fanrestore.com/thread-1698.html

I think the "spoiler" tag should be used for its original purpose, hide a spoiler, while the "hide" tag should be used for everything else...

I'm sure someone would not agree with this choice, for example...
undiscover the names here:
surprise! I didn't write here! Happy
but if you are reading, it meand it works...
and pseudo-nested hide/spoiler tags are cool, don't you think?
But please, PLEASE, do not abuse of them! (as I'm doing here...) Wink
