Important Note, Dec 2023
BB code application is changing. But if you apply spoiler tags in a simple fashion you should be ok - e.g. don't close other bb codes (such as italics, special fonts etc) within the spoiler if you opened it outside, and don't open such a code within the spoiler and then close it outside. Any existing spoiler tags with bb codes opened & closed entirely outside the spoiler, or entirely inside the spoiler, won't confuse the new code system and will still be parsed correctly. Read about it here, and see here. And of course, use the comments section to practice it - and if you want your practices deleted (hidden), just ask. Cheers all.
-----------------------------------------
Spoiler tabs are very useful not just for hiding spoilers but for saving space for all the poor souls who don't want to read all your nonsense ramblings (or see your bloated load orders or crazy images) while scanning comments. Anyway, for folks who don't know, you type it like this:
[spoiler*]your message here[/spoiler*]
but without adding the two * asterisks I just used to stop the tab activating in my own message!
And yes, you can have multiple spoiler tabs within spoiler tabs, like this:
Spoiler:
Show
Are you sure you want to know?
Spoiler:
Show
Ok like this:
[spoiler*]your message here[spoiler*]your additional message here[/spoiler*][/spoiler*]
but once again, without the asterisks. Hope that helps. Your only limitation is remembering to use the right number of paired spoiler and end-spoiler bb code instructions.
[spoiler*]your message here[spoiler*]your additional message here[/spoiler*][/spoiler*]
but once again, without the asterisks. Hope that helps. Your only limitation is remembering to use the right number of paired spoiler and end-spoiler bb code instructions.
Also note, for formatting, when a tab is created it automatically starts a new line, and any text after ending a spoiler will start on a new line too. And finally, yes you can insert links inside spoiler tabs (and images and videos inside them too).
Note much of this info comes buried far down in a Nexus article on BB code here:
https://wiki.nexusmods.com/index.php/Formating_and_BBCode_in_Descriptions
However, it's a bit dense for noobs - and incomplete for it refers to spoiler tab examples but doesn't include any, nor does it give any info on spoilers within spoilers, nor inserting images etc.
This info isn't just relevant to Fallout 4 but applies across all Nexus, so if you find it useful please feel free to link reference to it in other games' comments to help fellow nexusteers. Also let me know if I've made an error. Oh, and feel free to use the comments section below as a practice area for adding a spoiler tab into your message if you want...
Anyway, cheers.
