Insert a <spoiler>...</spoiler>

How to insert a (view spoiler)[... (hide spoiler)]

Do you want to write a review and you’re dying to make a comment to some of the lucky readers who have already read the book? Certainly you don’t want to checkmark the box “hide entire review because of spoilers” – which would hide the whole thing. Still, you don’t want to ruin a delicious surprise for others. Ditto for a discussion thread? Solution: (view spoiler)[Use the spoiler html command. (hide spoiler)]

To insert a “view spoiler” into your text type in the word spoiler between a greater-than sign and a less-than sign < > and then type your desired hidden text. When finished, type in the word /spoiler between the greater-than and less-than signs < > (note: now there is a forward-slash in front of the word).

Always do a preview to see what will show and what won't.

Explained a second way: Type this without the asterisks * present.

<*spoiler*>This is the text that will be hidden.<*/spoiler*>

Again, just don't put the * symbols between the greater than and less than signs.

Or look at the topic for this comment.

Try it!

I always wondered how it was done in bits, instead of the whole thing! Thanks Lisa!
