Damn it! Why can't I figure out spoiler tags

About 40% of the time, for no reason I can discern, they end up as block quotes starting with !

other people seem to always manage to find the problem and fix it pretty quickly, so they can't be that complicated

use two spaces or <br> at the end of lines for line break

@Sconibulus If you have a line break, it'll mess up the spoiler.

You can't spoiler a paragraph?

@Sconibulus You can, you just have to fix it up the way @dcfyj said. Personally, I prefer <br>.

Ahh, so you have to type it like >!Line 1<br>Line 2 instead of

>!Line 1
Line 2

Yeah. :)

hmm, it ate my second space after Line 1

ok, I can probably remember that

3:23 PM

or >! line1 <br>

>! line2

I alternate between the two

@Sconibulus Spoiler tag syntax is horrible.

@Deusovi It's even more fun when you throw in complicated mathJax into it haha

Deusovi

Yeah, sometimes I don't even bother spoilering posts.

I mean, it's not a rule that they need to be.

I try to spoiler all mine, sometimes that leads to me not answer quickly enough to get credit sadly (or should I say all the time since I've not gotten a check? lol I suck at answering these haha)

Q: What's a good way to introduce someone to puzzle-making?

6:11 PM

Should this be a meta?

First off THIS ISN'T A PUZZLE. It's a question about puzzle making, as the title suggests, though I thought I would make it clear, as I can see someone pout there making a puzzle with such a title. The title is misleading slightly, I want this for my own personal gain, though I feel others would...

puzzle-creation

I think it's on-topic for the site, as it's about puzzle creation.

Although, I feel like it may end up being considered too broad.

6:28 PM

@Sconibulus That's the kind of question that this site was originally created for.

Oh, ok

it didn't match most of the other questions, so I wasn't certain

@Sconibulus That's why we still have a [Puzzle-Creation] Tag
