Escapist how to

[Justice4L]

Hello, i am pretty new to the escapist and was wondering how to do two fundamental things.

1. Spoiler tags.

2. Putting in a direct image instead of a link. I know how to do this with videos but not images.

If you could help i would be very grateful. Cheers.

Simple really, for spoiler tags you type:

Spoiler

insert text here[/.spoiler]. (but without the ".")

For images, [.img]insert image URL here[/.img] (again, without the ".")

Same rule with other things, it's basically [ ] with the command inside, whatever text you want changed, then [/ ] to end it. Same with bold text (), italics (), strikes (), underlining, and even different colours. (that ones a bit more complicated, use [color=insert colour here], then [/.color], again without the ".")

You can also embed YouTube vids, by putting in [.youtube=enter URL here], but this one you don't need [/YouTube].

There is even an option that The Escapist staff added specially for me (which was awful nice of them to do :3), in which you can embed videos from the little known site www.juggling.tv (which I often link to, since I'm the Resident Juggler ;D), but that particular command I'm going to keep as my own little secret
