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 didn't say it was a bad thing and I didn't speak of groups in general and I didn't say lassarina and adalger didn't have a point but I haven't seen it regularly used for anything but fanfic warnings so, in my experience this is something that is typically fannish. And yes, I don't think DW should implement stuff specifically for fannish people because that's not what DW is about, as denise has said several times. (Sorry if I'm not expressing what she said correctly). That doesn't make it "bad" or something I would have a problem with. That simply makes it something I do not wish developers to spend their time on because I don't think it would benefit me and I don't think it would benefit other users in general. This is only my assessment of the situation and I believe that, when we answer the polls, that's what we're asked. That's how I interpret it, anyway.
