Forgive me if this is elementary stuff, but how do you create spolier boxes?
(spoiler) that’s how!(/spoiler)
But substitute for ()
that’s how!
One trick for all coding- click quote for a message that has the coding you want to also do (such as spoiler boxes) and the coding will be revealed in the reply-box where the text is quote
You can also find the answers here.
Thanks for the link PlainJain, very helpful.
May I please use this thread to ask how one makes quotes within quotes?
You just put quote tags inside of quote tags. Like this:
(quote=Ernie)(quote=Bert)Give me back my nose.(/quote)
No!(/quote)
Will get you this when the parentheses are changed to brackets:
Incidentally, if you click the “quote” button on somebody else’s text, it will display all their coding in the reply window, so if you want to see how they coded something, just “quote” it and it will show you.
[Noparse]In order to give examples, you can also put a [Noparse] tag in your post, but that disables all codes.
Spoilers are like this:
Content you want to be spoilered.
Nested quotes are like this:
[/noparse]
Whoa. I never knew you could do that. Kewl.
Nitpick: only if you leave it unclosed, otherwise it only disables the code within the [noparse][noparse][/noparse][/noparse] block. For example, here are some [noparse]bold tags[/noparse] and here is some bold text.
True; I was mostly thinking that it does some odd things to the code as well, such as disabling capital letters in the code tags themselves as well as breaking quotes. (You can’t put one inside a quote tag, IIRC.)
I think you can – look at my text you just quoted. 
That’s what she said…
back in post 2.
Hint: When looking at codes like that, read the final code (which will have a “/” in it) as “end code”. {/quote} is “end quote”, {/b} is “end bold”, {/spoiler} is “end spoiler”. That helps me keep things straight.
Also, there’s a Quote code quickbutton on the toolbar. Highlight some text and click on it, and it automatically puts the codes on for you.
Wow, a lot of information here. Thank you, everyone!
Hmm. I’ve got to test that.
ETA: Sweet diggity. It worked. That’s going to save some hassle in dealing with spam. Thanks!
ETA 2: Testing with links.
ETA 3: Sweeter diggity! It works!
