Embedding Spoilers within Spoilers

Post by max is gr8 »

Concise description:
  • Be able to have something like this be shown:

Code: Select all

[spoiler=How to Start a Game]
   [spoiler=Step 1]Press the Start a Game button[/spoiler]
   [spoiler=Deciding settings]...
      [spoiler=Turn Order]...[/spoiler]
      [spoiler=Card Type]...[/spoiler]
      [spoiler=Fortifications]...[/spoiler]
      [spoiler=Game Style]...[/spoiler][/spoiler]
   [spoiler=Final Stage]...[/spoiler]
[/spoiler]
But the above turns into
How to Start a Game
Step 1
Press the Start a Game button
Deciding settings
...
Turn Order
...
Card Type
...
Fortifications
...
Game Style
...
Final Stage
...
Specifics:
  • Allow Spoilers to be embedded with other spoilers
This will improve the following aspects of the site:
  • Help for tournament standings, in my poker tournament I originally planned to make the first post smaller by embedding many of the sections within spoilers, which I already used
  • Ergo making the tournament forum more accessible
  • Allow Map Makers to compress the size of the post to show the current map and in spoilers show pieces of information - e.g. the research and conquer map

It's a piece of forum code that hides some info from being displayed. If you click on the spoiler you will be exposed for more information. It's good for making a post that is literally a spoiler (the ending to a movie, or who won a sports game) but its also good for cleaning up the appearance of a page which is what this suggestion was aimed at.

If I was making a tournament that involved letters and numbers or something I might want you to read my directions before clicking on the list and getting confused.
