Welcome to the new site!

Is there a way to create spoiler tags? I am trying to edit a very messing looking thread.

Summary

yes very fun

[spoiler]also this[/spoiler]

Yes, in Discourse the tag is [details] instead. You can change the title with an equal sign like so:

Spoiler

test

Code:

[details=Spoiler]test[/details]

Found this, which could automatically fix it across the board. Tagging @wendell in case it’s feasible.

There is also this plugin, but it’s not the same. It targets inline spoilers.

Thank you both for the replies.

I think I can do it using details and break tags like this;

<details>Line 1 <br>Line 2</br> Line 3 <br>Line 4</br></details>

Which results in this

Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4

It might take me a while to insert all the break tags though, even using an advanced text editor like notepad++ to do some bulk edits.

You dont need the br, you can just go

@Aquavision Thanks, I’m not sure why I had to add breaks yesterday, without them the text would all be on the same line. Tried different browsers and only the break tags were working. I’ll assume PEBKAC at this point.

Just tried it as you said and of course it works - thanks!

[Edit] I just realised what I was doing wrong, I was starting the text block on the same line as the [details] tag and also on the last line of the block of text for the [/details] tag. :blush:

Would like to mention a feature I like very much and I wasn’t able to find that in the old forum software:

Ever wondered what was changed in the opening threads containing all the guides? Just a new version added or more changes one would like to know of?
