Are Lemmy-style ":::" tags for spoilers in the community sidebar text for the Piedfed WebUI.

In Lemmy, you hide text blocks behind a spolier ":::" tag:

Go to: https://lemmy.world/c/hardware, and you'll get the following via the (default?) Lemmy webUI:

If you go to https://piefed.social/c/hardware@lemmy.world (!hardware@lemmy.world) via the Piefed webUI you get the following view in the same siderbar:

If possible, it would be helpful to have the spoiler tag work in Piefed webUI as well.

Tbh its still weird to me after coming to Lemmy from reddit that they reinvented the wheel for comment formatting syntax.

From "> ! ! <" to :::

The lemmy-style spoiler syntax is a huge pain tbh, and very limiting in that for something to be a spoiler, it needs to be a separate paragraph. Adding in-line spoilers was one of my first contributions to piefed because I found it so annoying (that won't render as an in-line spoiler on lemmy).

The markdown-parsing library used by piefed supported using the same syntax as telegram/discord, with || spoiler here ||, so that is what I used for the feature even though I prefer the reddit/stack overflow style spoiler syntax better.
