    Great changes! A spoiler tag button is really nice, especially since the formatting for it can be a bit clunky. On that note though, I think it’d be nice to have an alternate format for making spoilers that doesn’t literally have the word spoiler in it.

    It’s also awesome to see that official collections are explicitly marked, but the way it’s done is rather odd. It’s a button that creates an “Are you sure?” prompt on the screen when you click it. It seems like something that’s meant for instance owners.

    I think something less obtrusive next to the collection’s name would be better for marking official collections. I implemented that with a checkmark in my userstyle, and I prefer it to the button. Maybe have the text “official” show when you hover over it to indicate what it means.

      Like this?

      Do you mean just displaying something other than “spoiler” in the header? Or not using the word “spoiler” when writing the tag at all? If the latter, I believe it’s done that way to match how it works on lemmy.

        I mean not having the word spoiler when writing the tag. I get that it’s done for Lemmy compatibility, which is why I suggest an alternative way to do it (like how italics can be written like _this_ or like *this*).

            True, though this doesn’t give the spoiler a header.

            Maybe something like ||header|content||, based off how Discord handles spoilers, could work.

            So

            don't click if you're 8 or younger

            santa isn’t real

            could be written as

            ||don’t click if you’re 8 or younger|santa isn’t real||

            Edit: Backslashing doesn’t seem to work on colons for whatever reason, so I removed that example of how the spoiler could be written.

          (like how italics can be written like this or like this).

          How do you get that to display without italicising/bolding the text? (E: like has clearly happened to me lol)

        nope

        spoiler

        testing

        (E: I’ve tried several ways to get it to work, once I got the little triangle but also the word “spoiler” on the end, the rest of the times I got variations of what it looks like now. Am on desktop)
        (E2: it’s now settled on a little triangle, it was showing the ::: bits before, I swear 😂)
