Actually HTML has a wonderful way to do spoilers, an example is below. Highlight it if you actually need an explanation of the trick.

Spoiler

The trick is that you write a table with the font and the background color the same. When someone highlight's it they can read the spoiler, but otherwise they cannot.

In this case I did it like this:

<table><tr><td bgcolor=#000000><font color=#000000> put text here and then </font><td></tr></table>
Unfortunately links show through because the rules for the HTML here don't include (that I saw at least) a way to control the color of an HREF. Which is why the link is down there and not in here. :-)

Wish I could claim it was my idea, but one of the folks at IWETHEY (namely CRConrad) came up with it.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • Outside of code tags, you may need to use entities for some characters:
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
    [ &#91;
    ] &#93;
