G'day Lady Aleena,

Given you indicated in "Re^2: Adding details with summary html tags" that you were generally unfamiliar with <spoiler> — forgot it existed; didn't know its purpose; didn't know how it worked — I suggest reading "Perl Monks Approved HTML tags".

Having seen quite a few of your previous posts, you seem reasonably familiar with HTML5, so the differences (elements, attributes, functionality) should hopefully be fairly obvious to you. I think that any proposal of this nature should also address such differences; for instance, what subset of the attributes used in HTML5 would you like implemented (I don't think all of them would be appropriate).

What you're proposing is, as ++LanX indicated, already handled for the most part by <spoiler>. Because of this, I don't support your proposal to introduce two new elements. Having said that, I would support (at least in principle) a proposal to add a mechanism to <spoiler> that allowed it to be hidden after it had been revealed: basically, some sort of Show/Hide toggle switch.

— Ken

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
    [ &#91;
