View submission: Reddit Comment Formatting

Thanks a lot! Can you show how you format colors, hide your text etc?

For example if you want to talk about the ending of a movie but don't want to spoil it for people who haven't seen the ending yet?

Both colors and spoiler text are not part of the default formatting.

When you moderate a subreddit, you have the option of adding customized CSS[1]. This allows you to control the formatting of the entire page, including font color and size.

There are ways to view custom style sheets, but if you are new to the world of css it would be easier to message the moderator and ask them what the formatting rules are in that subreddit. Good moderators should have this info in the sidebar or FAQ.
