I love the "spoiler" tag. However, might I ask that it be changed slightly. (I'm not a programmer so can't do it myself!)

Currently when the spoiler tag is used, there is no clue that there is actually any text hidden anywhere.

If you look at this post:
http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?postid=1681374#post1681374
you will see that some text has been included to say that there is some hidden text that is a spoiler.

It looks something like this:

Spoiler Alert! (highlight to read)
Spoiler goes here


I think it looks better. What do others think?

The spoiler tag was only included as an example of how to add additional tags via the extratags function.

To get the functionality you are looking for would just involve modifying that example code.

here is what it looks like now:
fString = doCode(fString, "[spoiler]", "[/spoiler]", "<font color=""" & CColor & """>", "</font id=""" & CColor & """>")
you could change it to this:
fString = doCode(fString, "[spoiler]", "[/spoiler]", "<font size=""1""><strong>Spoiler Alert!</strong> (highlight to read)</font><hr size=""1""><font color=""" & CColor & """>", "</font id=""" & CColor & """><hr size=""1"">")

Not really. If it wasn't there, you wouldn't necesarily know there was any hidden test to view. Plus, you know exactly where it starts and ends.

Just my opinion. Feel free to ignore me

Doesn't look too hard. Which file is this string kept in?
