Spoiler tag

[Dlsharrock]

Is there a problem with the spoiler tags?

This is what happens when I use spoiler...

the text I want hidden

You can't see what happens, because the text is just blacked out. Am I doing something wrong? Other folks seem able to use spoiler with a little button that puts the spoiler on full view. I tried to check out the vb code tutorial, but the link is broken.

I think you're looking for [ sblock ] [ /sblock ] minus the spaces.

This?

Well, that is the point of a spoiler tag - to keep people from seeing it if they don't want to, right? If they select a block of text, it is then readable.

We have two different spoiler tags [ sblock ] and [ spoiler ]. If you want the button, it's sblock.

Very facetious, give yourself a point.
sblock was what I was after. Thanks Ankh-Morpork Guard.

Leaving Sblock aside for the moment, using Spoiler tags inside a text can help people 'see what happens.' For example:

Darth Vader was his sled. When Chuck Norris found out, he called home.

This is just a test, if this were are real spoiler alert, you'd be advised to read it avidly. Instead, please ignore this attempt to try making a spoiler tag for a later post...

Spoiler:

This is just a little test, little test, little test, and will be very boring so I told you not to read it... (imagine reading it to the exciting beat of "Mary Had A LIttle Lamb" -- which is just punishment for looking at the spoiler after you were warned.

By the way, you can add a title to an sblock.
