Spoilers button

How do you get those buttons to come up that say 'spoilers' and let you hide text. I searched the FAQ for spoilers and came up with nothing.

How do you get those buttons to come up that say 'spoilers' and let you hide text. I searched the FAQ for spoilers and came up with nothing.

Use the following:

<sblock>Text I want hidden</sblock>

But replace < with [ and > with ].

In addition to sblock (which puts everything in a collapsable hide box as the Mouse mentionedthere is also spoiler (which makes the text and background both black so someone has to highlight it with the mouse to read. Examples are below..

[sblock]
This is what I get form typing [ s b l o c k ]text [ / s b l o c k ] - without all those spaces ...
[/sblock]

And ..

Spoiler

This is what I get form typing [ s p o i l e r ]text [ / s p o i l e r ] - without all those spaces ...
