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 like the idea of "spoiler" or "concealed" text, and the advantage of doing it on a system level would be that it would know what the foreground and background colors were, and could make sure the concealed text has enough contrast to be seen.

However, I just realized that it's yet one more thing that RSS feeds have no provision for. Darn.
