Making Syntax quicker.

Sunflare

PRAISE THE SUN! \[T]/
When typing in Syntax for spoilers, it’s a bit annoying, so instead of the whole word, we could possibly make it [s] instead? (With [/s] ending it)
 
It’d make it more convenient for casual posters and commenters.
 
Yay or nay?

I would not be against this addition (it wouldn’t be able to replace the whole [spoiler] syntax, due to backwards compatibility).  
Also the chans have a feature where pressing Ctrl+s surrounds highlighted text with [s][/s], that’d be nice too.

That’s been discussed a number of times. We generally would prefer Markdown, but there’s two issues:
 
  1. Everyone on this site is already familiar with Textile, which would make Markdown even harder to get used to
     
  2. There’s no simple way to convert all the existing Textile markup

Backup and convert, or have legacy Textile handling for messages that aren’t marked with a new Markdown flag-thing. Or have Markdown-specific parser code handle Textile syntax, but complain at the user and prevent new message from being sent if it uses said syntax (unique parts of it, anyway - italic is common and bold is semi-common), possibly specifically mentioning what to use instead.
 
@Joey  
The first is not an issue, it’s a sunk cost fallacy.

Well, that’s easy. Just add the [s] as another way to do the spoilers. Keep the same way, just and this second way to do it. So we’ll have [spoiler] and [s] for convenience.

Textile and Markup are two completely different syntaxes.
 
Adding [s] while keeping [spoiler] would be pretty simple, but I believe there’s currently a code freeze due to a few issues that occurred over the weekend that haven’t been fully ironed out yet. Perhaps once more pressing matters are fixed.

Since *, _, @, +, -, ^, and ~ are already symbols used for different text commands, could a single key be used for Spoilers? [while keeping the old version as well.]
 
Example: &text& would spoiler the text between the two “&”. Or something else. Just thinking about it being a single key instead of still being [s] [/s]

How do you guys feel about a userscript that adds a (very basic) formatting toolbar to the page? I’ve been toying with the idea of writing one for a while now. If it’s not something that’s likely to be added to the site, I think I might start working on one.

I miss the show so much
@Marker  
A long time ago there was a script called BORED which did just that and more. Its maintainer stopped working on it and it slowly broke over time as things got shuffled around and one day it stopped working completely.
 
If you can still find it Here it is, you could probably salvage parts of it, so you don’t have to do the whole thing from scratch.

Thanks for the tip, but I’ve written something similar for an imageboard before, so I’ll be cannibalizing from that instead.

This is what I have right now: full
 
It supports keyboard shortcut for bold, italics, underline, and spoiler tag. Additional shortcuts can be easily implemented if people feel there’s a need for it.  
It will attempt to rewrite Derpibooru links to use relative URL e.g. "link":https://derpibooru.org/meta/ -> "link":/meta/  
Same with images, it will try to insert them using \>\>9999p embeds where possible. The following URLs will all work:  
@https://derpibooru.org/9999  
https://derpicdn.net/img/2012/6/19/9999/large.png

If there are no objections, I plan to bundle it with my Derpibooru Comment Preview script.

As I mentioned when this suggestion was made in the big suggestion thread I’d advise against [s][/s] for spoliers due to 1) it conflicting with BBcode markup for strikethrough (mildly irritating for people using multiple sites) and 2) it being just as much of a pain to type on mobile
 
Is there a specific reason, should additional markup be added to Textile, it couldn’t just be spoilered text or something, kinda similar to the Markdown markup Barhandar was referencing? (I’m not familiar with Markdown so pardon if there’s further differences that go over my head.)

Double-percentage in particular is from a derivative of Markdown, Wakabamark. Regular Markdown, like stuff you can find on Reddit, typically doesn’t have a need for spoilers. But the syntax matches up.  
And the differences between Markdown and Textile-Derpi-uses are as such: both _ and * are italics, both __ and ** are bold, superscript is done with a single ^ in the beginning, subscript isn’t present, strikethrough is %%, monospace/code is done with a ` instead of @, - is unused, quotes are done with > in the beginning instead of [bq] BBcode, underline isn’t present, literal (ignoring formatting for the symbol) is done with a \ before it.
One peculiarity of Reddit’s Markdown, however, is that it is retarded removes single end-of-lines, requiring two to change paragraph and two spaces before EOL to actually change line, which severely reduces usability, but thankfully is entirely preventable if Markdown-for-Derpi is feature-controlled by sane people. It also removes multiple spaces and empty lines otherwise, which is just as stupid, but interferes less.
