Automated ROT13 spoiler comments

#About

Spoilers get used pretty heavily on Puzzling.SE, and people have taken to using rot13 in comments since there's no official spoiler mark-up outside of questions/answers. That's annoying, but this script will make your life easier.

#Features

  1. Add rot13 spoilers to comments
  • Whenever you're typing a comment, surround any text you want to be spoilered with rot13(<text to be spoilered>)
  • A ROT13 link will appear to the right (between the Add Comment button and the help link)
  • Clicking ROT13 will convert all rot13(...) text in your comment (obviously clicking again will convert back)
  • Post your comment as usual
  1. Automatically convert existing rot13 spoilers in comments
  • Any comments containing spoilers in the format rot13(<spoilered text>) will automatically turn into links
  • Hover the link to see the unspoilered text in the tooltip
  • Click the link to see the unspoilered text in an alert popup

(I left the encoding process fairly manual so as not to be potentially annoying when writing/editing comments)
