v1.2 - script now works in SE chat rooms too

edited Jun 18, 2018 at 1:44

Automated ROT13 spoiler comments

#About

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

#Features

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

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

Edit (v1.2): Both the above features now also work in SE chat rooms

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