Feature request: an option to use spoiler tags in posts and replies. · 11

jonnysunshine · 4608 days ago

I just answered a question regarding the Walking Dead tv show and wanted to mask it as a spoiler comment, but the markup doesn't seem to support it. Can we add it so we can post spoilers without spoiling shows or books unnecessarily?

tweet · print · html

basic link:
<a href="https://hubski.com//pub/59448">Discuss this on Hubski.</a>
new tab link:
<a onclick="_blank" href="javascript:L3f7=window.open('https://hubski.com//pub/59448');">Discuss this on Hubski.</a>

Text surrounded by asterisks (*) is italicized.

Text surrounded by plus signs (+) is bolded.

Text surrounded by vertical bars (|) is quoted. If you double-click a paragraph, it will be quoted.

Text surrounded by tildes (~) is blocked out.

Symbols such as *, +, |, and ~ can be used literally by placed a \ in front of the text.

A user's name surrounded by at signs (@) links to their profile, and the user is notified that you mentioned them.

A word surrounded by hash signs (#) becomes a tag and links to posts with that tag.

Text after a blank line that is indented by two or more spaces is reproduced verbatim in a different font.

URLs become links. However, new users cannot post links in comments.

Hubski URLS become embedded cards, displaying information about the post or comment.

Text can link to URLs by using the following format: [linked text](http://theurl.com)

Youtube, Vimeo, Soundcloud, Twitter, and Spotify urls will embed the content automatically.

Image URLs (.png, .tif, .gif, and .jpg) will embed automatically.

We already have it! Surround text in ~s to do that.
