That works great for me, although it might be better if it was a bit darker (say “dimgray” instead of “silver”). I use Firefox and don’t have the highlighting problems that Erf mentioned. I suggest, however, that you consider using the element instead of the element.

That hides the word “this”, but the text colour is very close to the colour Firefox (at least) uses for highlighting, so highlighting doesn’t really reveal it. Can you make both text and background darker?

Nope. What about this one?

Testing 1 2 3... how does this look?

I’ll look into it. I’m just using normal font tags, so it’s a matter of googling the appropriate color names and background tags. Remembering to do it that way will be harder; I write this HTML by hand and can tend to forget.

Based on what has been revealed thus far, I’m most excited about Siege. However, I’m expecting Blackest Night #7 to be huge. Given the magnitude of the spoilers we’ve had in solicitation texts and cover images to date, suddenly marking so much as “Top Secret!” seems to me like an indication that the “big” spoilers we’ve already had will not seem “big” in comparison.

I like the spoiler tags, but having them be empty space is kind of confusing. Is there any way you could make it something like dark gray on dark gray instead of black on black? If you did it that way, then it would be obvious that something’s filling the space.

So what are you particularly looking forward to? Anything that should be more or less ignored? (Or did you just not bother discussing the spoilery-ness of the stuff you don’t care about?)
