Spoiler Preview

Tetrahedron

I really like the spoiler feature, but I had an idea I thought might improve it. Have some markdown before or within the spoiler markdown that designates part of the phrase as a preview. This would be optional, but it would allow for people to know what exactly is being spoiled.

For example, say you are having a discussion about a book with person A and person B. You and person A have read chapter 3, but person B hasn't. With this feature you could type {{chapter 3}}||spoiler for chapter 3||. The spoiler block would display the text "chapter 3" until it's clicked on, at which point it will display "spoiler for chapter 3". This allows you to say a chapter 3 spoiler to person A without person B being spoiled. The formatting is just a random choice, it could be anything. Other possiblities would be characters other than curly brackets, or the secondary characters inside the lines, like this: ||{{spoiler preview}} spoiler||.

    Therefor the blocking-blocks could be reused. They have an integrated text on top like "X messages blocked" which could be reassigned with the spoiler preview. An additional advantage would be that the spoiler wouldn't get as big as it can be when using the current spoiler system. It will hide even big texts or pictures in a small box which will only extend if opened. So it would also be possible to load link previews inside the boxes.

    Nice idea, however maybe a feature for servers to make it role only?

    This would be a very useful thing, as when I see a spoiler I wonder what the spoiler is for, I sometimes click it and get a spoiler that I don't want, sometimes ruining the game/movie for me.

    This would be insanely helpful.   This way if you are utilizing a bunch of spoilers it is easier to find content.  Then I can open ones I want to read and ignore ones I don't want to read.
