Space after ::: in spoiler (programming.dev)

It seems that the web UI treats spoilers without a space after ::: the same as the regular ones, while Thunder ignores those as spoilers. It looks like the closing spoiler marker may be entered without whitespace but it consumes extra text after the spoiler, and overall acts weird

I can create an issue if that's needed, or this post may be referenced in an existing issue to be used as a test

Thanks for the feedback! It would be awesome if you could create a new GitHub issue on this so that it makes it easier to keep track of.

Just as you mentioned, there doesn't seem to be a definition for what correctly defines a spoiler tag in Lemmy, so it's a bit difficult to get all the edge cases right! I kept the parsing to be limited to what Lemmy UI produces when you press the spoiler tag (which adds a space after :::). This is also non-standard markdown which makes it particularly more difficult to implement 😅

For reference, this is what Lemmy UI generates as a template:

I've filed an issue. I tried to be clear and concise but not sure if I did a good job at that.

All in all, it seems like there needs to be a post with all the possible combinations of weird stuff (e.g. using tabs as whitespace, not having closing ::: etc) and some interaction with lemmy-ui dev to understand if that cases are treated correctly by them and what is an intended way

Yeah, I remember the tracking issue with a discussion of this feature

I will create an issue soon and post back
