    Your spoiler text got messed up there since the last “:::” is treated as being still within the quote block. You might need an extra newline above it for separation. I hope this helps rather than being pedantic & annoying?

      Interesting. What client are you using? It displays fine for me in lemmy-ui (the default Lemmy web app).

      I hope this helps rather than being pedantic & annoying?

      Absolutely it does! Unfortunately Lemmy and Piefed clients are…inconsistent, at best, when it comes to how some of the finer points of syntax get parsed. Spoiler text is among the worst contenders, because of how non-standard the syntax is (second-worst contender: superscript & subscript). I’ll try adding in the newlines and hopefully it won’t cause any extra problems, but I can’t guarantee it’ll help.

        Yes interesting indeed! I am using PieFed’s standard browser UI, in Firefox on Android, which I had thought they had standardized to match Lemmy’s spoiler handling but apparently we found a niche case where they differ.

        Your edited text now renders perfectly for me, so yes that seems to have been the source of the discrepancy. Agreed that particularly the apps render all sorts of things willy-nilly, though I suppose it is good to have choices! (And yet I prefer the web browser that actually works on PieFed to an app that currently would miss so many features, which the API is still being expanded to be able to handle).

        Thank you for your continual kindness and consideration in commenting:-).
