In my old test thread I had played with coloring of text, with the old forum software. It looks like we have some basic ability now.

The blur spoiler (supposedly) remembers its toggled state (blurred, not blurred) when a post is edited. It thus can appear to not be working.

The following two lines have blur spoilers. The third line does not.

This line is toggled with the blur off.

This line is toggled with the blur on.

Toggle before editing to remember its state, then save the edit. Does that work? No it doesn’t appear to work that way.

I got that from here. I’m unsure how to make this happen but I did see it when I posted in that same Wordle thread.

> ETA: Yay! Figured out my spoiler issue. You know how blur spoilers toggle on and off each time you click them? If you click it visible, edit the post and then save it, when discourse redraws the edited post it remembers the blur toggle state and shows it visible, as if it weren’t working, instead of resetting to blurred like I would expect on a redraw. Not a fan, but at least now I know how it works.

Well, hmmm. Lemme see if I can reproduce my issue here.

Test 1: Opening tag in the text, closing tag on its own line.

Test 2:

Vice versa

That was my initial guess. Now lemme try an edit.

Going to toggle this visible, save, and see if the redraw re-blurs it.

Nope, those all worked fine here.

Maybe it struggles with the Wordle thread because it’s long?
