I am trying to format a few posts that are monstrosities and make people’s eyeballs bleed. Having hidden text would be a solution. I can’t find a way in Discourse to make text hidden with a title that can be revealed by clicking on it. A very old Post could not find a universal solution.
Edit: In the old thread there is a hacky solution for chrome but not for Firefox or IE.
You mean something like [spoiler]?
A temporary solution would be moving it into a codeblock as codeblocks have a max. height and introduce scrolling above that limit.
That post you linked has a (hacky) solution
Spoiler tags would be great.
Unfortunately it doesn’t work with Firefox or IE
@DotDash may know, he’s used them before.
Maybe ping @lukegb, I’d be stunned if there isn’t some kind of discourse plugin which adds this.
Its actually the plugin they use to learn people how to install plugins 
.
@DotDash, The article that you reference I’m assuming you’re talking about the first post using HTML. On Firefox 39 or IE that method doesn’t seem to work as demonstrated above. I could be doing something wrong though…
Not sure (I use Chromium).
Works for me on chrome.
Just a Test on FF38.x:
Nope, this doesn’t seem to work at all or me… 
here’s what i tried above:
<details><summary>Title</summary>Contents</details>Who do we rope into this conversation that has the authority to integrate a plug-in for the forums?
lukegb deals with forum stuff usually. Also try Owexz.
I’d be happy to see that functionality added, but I’m not sure if @lukegb will be too keen on the extra work. 
I personally think we should force @lukegb to do it as penance for all the soul-destroyingly awful jokes he told at Minecon.
At the detriment of derailing this entire thread if you have a list of those soul-destroyingly awful jokes they should be posted somewhere. A post enshrining all their horribleness to be preached as the ‘don’t do s’ for all Minecon kind.
