Editor toolbar generates invalid multi-paragraph spoilers

Continuing the discussion from HTML <b> across paragraph breaks differs between preview and result:

The editor bug is still there as far as I can see.

To reproduce: on meta.discourse.org or try.discourse.org, type two paragraphs with double line breaks separating them like this:

foo

bar

Select the paragraphs, click the gear, and click “Blur Spoiler.”

Actual: The editor inserts spoiler tags inline at the start/end of the selection, which used to work, but which no longer makes a multi-paragraph spoiler.

[spoiler]foo

bar[/spoiler]

It renders like this:

[spoiler]foo

bar[/spoiler]

Expected:

[spoiler]
foo

bar
[/spoiler]

foo

bar

Note that it should also do the right thing if you select the spoilers in this example:

foo Rosebud is a sled

Bruce Willis died in Act 1

It was Kevin Spacey the whole time

Darth is Anakin bar 

Currently it does this:

foo [spoiler]Rosebud is a sled

Bruce Willis died in Act 1

It was Kevin Spacey the whole time

Darth is Anakin[/spoiler] bar

I’m not 100% sure what it should do in this case. One thing it might do is convert the inline spoilers into a spoiler block like this.

foo
[spoiler]
Rosebud is a sled

Bruce Willis died in Act 1

It was Kevin Spacey the whole time

Darth is Anakin
[/spoiler]
bar

foo

Rosebud is a sled

Bruce Willis died in Act 1

It was Kevin Spacey the whole time

Darth is Anakin

bar

But perhaps instead it should wrap each inline section with its own [spoiler] tag and embed all of the paragraphs in a spoiler block.

foo [spoiler]Rosebud is a sled[/spoiler]

[spoiler]
Bruce Willis died in Act 1

It was Kevin Spacey the whole time
[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Darth is Anakin[/spoiler] bar 

foo Rosebud is a sled

Bruce Willis died in Act 1

It was Kevin Spacey the whole time

Darth is Anakin bar

But that introduces three spoilers; you have to click on each spoiler one at a time to reveal it. :confused:

Incorrect, it should simply add spoiler BBCode tags at the top and bottom. And if it does not, we should definitely fix that @eviltrout

[spoiler]
foo Rosebud is a sled

Bruce Willis died in Act 1

It was Kevin Spacey the whole time

Darth is Anakin bar 
[/spoiler]

I guess that’s OK, too. (A bit weird that non-spoiler text “foo” and “bar” sneaks in.)

I just want to make sure inline spoilers will still work.

So if you select the spoiler here:

foo Rosebud is a sled bar

it should continue to generate an inline spoiler

foo [spoiler]Rosebud is a sled[/spoiler] bar

foo Rosebud is a sled bar

Yes, that is more or less how the code toolbar button already works – try it – so I think @eviltrout can just adopt that exact behavior.

@eviltrout I recall fixing this a few weeks back with the details plugin.

Current behavior:

test []test

test[] test

Hit spoiler

test [spoiler]test

test[/spoiler] test

Desired

test
[spoiler]
test

test
[/spoiler]
test

Since spoiler is also inline, this needs to work as well

text spoil text
text [spoiler]spoil[/spoiler] text

Can you assign someone to this @eviltrout if it is still an issue?

[spoiler]It is still

This is going to be hard to fix since we only support either block or inline BBCode

[spoiler]
block
[/spoiler]
[spoiler]inline[/spoiler]

It does not seem hard, simply use the correct form for multiple line selections?

Yeah it’s not a markdown fix, simply an adjustment to the way the toolbar operates, toolbar introduces bad markdown, it needs to be smarter about adding new lines

Right, fixing the toolbar to use “block mode” when there are new lines in the selection is easy.

Supporting

[spoiler]mixed
formatting
[/spoiler]

is not.

Yes but that is the only thing being requested here

@pmusaraj can you take a look? The selection and buttons in the editor are very well tested so it should be fairly obvious how to create a test for this situation.

This should be fixed via these two commits (core, discourse-spoiler-alert), the toolbar button will use “block mode” if the selected string is multiline.
