More BGG markup constructs?

[lebigot]

The following markup constructs are recognized by BGG forums (those that ended up being handled are checked):

• [u]underline[/u]: does not exist in GitHub Flavored Markdown, and is usually avoided so as to not confuse it with links ⇒ will not implement now.
• [-]strikethrough[/-] (exists in GitHub Flavored Markdown)
• [c]monospace/code[/c] (should be standard backpacks).
• [o]spoiler[/o]
• [color=blue]Blue text[/color] (maybe convert some standard HTML?)

Can some of them can be reasonably implemented? Ideally, any existing Markdown convention should be favored (for example that of GitHub Flavored Markup).

Hi @lebigot I've just had reason to be interested in this - good work, I just found something for spoilers: https://gist.github.com/jbsulli/03df3cdce94ee97937ebda0ffef28287?permalink_comment_id=3085188#gistcomment-3085188

I've forked but if you're open to PRs I'll send it your way if I get round to doing any work on it

This and colour are still only html

This sounds interesting, thanks!

What Markdown syntax do you propose for spoilers? I'm not aware of anything official (well, except maybe foldable callouts like in Obsidian, but BoardGameGeek's spoilers are more general).

I'd be happy to iterate with you on a Pull Request!

Simple, extends existing block quotes: >! and the worst that would happen if an md renderer didn't understand it, is it would show the spoiler
