Spoiler short-cut

Title:
Spoiler short-cut

Area:
Entries

Summary:
Coding a html short-cut for having the same colour for background and text.

Description:
Requesting a html short-cut for spoiler text. That is, being able to mark up [spoiler] SPOILER GOES HERE [/spoiler] (or something similar) and having it post with the same colour background as text so that the spoiler must be highlighted to be read.

A nifty version of the code exists, which I understand makes hiding spoilers in this way effective for people who use screen-reading software as well. The link for the code is: http://amadi.dreamwidth.org/40143.html

Thanks!

I'm not sure offhand what this does that a cut doesn't also do. (eg, is it ease of use, or does it have use cases of features that cut doesn't cover atr all?)

You don't need to load another page to access the hidden content. That may not seem like much, but when your connection is spotty, it's already a lot :)

Also, it works on entry pages, not just on reading pages.

I pretty much agree here - warnings of spoilers/triggers are generally sufficient in my experience, and avoid the massive hassle of making sure a 'tag' works in all styles, browsers, mobile devices, etc....

it keeps the concealment if one is linked directly to the entry, as opposed to viewing it from an aggregated entries view.
