Great, thanks! Seems to work pretty much as expected. Because of the `user-select: none`, I can’t actually highlight the spoiler text directly. So it seems like I can only quote spoiler text when I highlight something _before_ it and then drag my mouse over the spoiler text. This means that I can’t highlight spoiler text if the post starts with it (highlighting the text _after_ it and dragging my mouse over the spoiler text from there _doesn’t_ seem to work). The “ideal” version I mentioned above with partial highlighting of spoiler text also doesn’t work of course, but I didn’t expect it to given the `user-select: none` situation. While that would be nice, it’s certainly less important than just getting the `spoiler` tags in general. I do wonder how the spoiler feature would work without the `user-select: none`, but I wasn’t able to test it just by removing it in the console since the JS code adds it back right away. Anyway, I just wanted to give some follow up information from my brief testing. Thanks again! --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/cannot-quote-spoiler-text/92864)._
