Thanks for the list

::: spoiler test

This should be hidden

:::

Doesn’t seem to work, does wefwef not show formatting?

Might be wefwef then. For me, the spoiler is hidden (Firefox, Desktop version if that matters)

Swap "test" and "spoiler" around and add a paragraph behind "text" and "hidden". The first "spoiler" is part of the formatting, not the title of the spoiler ;)

If you write it as:

::: spoiler Title goes here

Hidden part goes here

:::

Here you can continue writing outside of the spoiler section

Then you will get:

::: spoiler Title goes here

Hidden part goes here

:::

Here you can continue writing outside of the spoiler section

Thanks for taking the time to help - still doesn’t seem to be working for me, and I can’t see a spoiler tag in your comment either.

Might be wefwef, might be my instance, might be my phone. In any case not a huge drama, I’ll just have to avoid any spoilery conversations.
