What is the character count (and does it include spaces) for single posts, on the board?
Travers: Perhaps you'll favor us with a demonstration while we're here. Buffy: You mean, like, right now? 'Cause, already had my recommended daily dose of fights tonight.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
6000 characters, and spaces and hard returns are characters.

All is well that ends in pizza.
We need a spoiler font quote quickedit, something that will let us block quote spoilers other people have put in, so we can respond quickly and clearly.
Maybe a q?
IMHO, of course.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Err, as Jess mentioned in Natter...
s - (lowercase "s"followed by a space at the start of a line) creates spoiler or white font text to the end of the current line.
We've got one.

Does s work with >?
Apparently not. I think that's what DCJ wants.

No, you have to choose one or the other, like all the quick-edit tags, as quick-edit tags are dependent on the tag being at the start of the line. There's no nesting.

Is it possible to make a quick-edit tag that invokes the html code of an s> combo?
ETA: I'm not saying I think it's necessary or that we should do it, I'm just curious if it's possible.

The point I was trying to make, is that when you are quoting someone else's whitefont, and adding your own, it all starts to run together.
It would be nice to be able to have the quoted text indented *and* whitefonted.
Even worse is quoting someone who is weaving in and out of spoiler font.

You can use the t blockquote tag after an s quickedit. More to type than a combo quickedit, but doable.
