in reply to RFC: Spoiler tags

Hmm, could be CSS. A spoiler class could have an attribute with font and background color the same, until the mouse hovers over it, in which case it could change to default colors -- or the default paragraph style. So user-defined CSS styles would be applied for spoiler text with the mouse over it. Just a thought.

    I thought of CSS - but that's still just using formatting, and will not work for everyone. Hmm.. maybe there could be a user setting that turns SPOILER into HTML comments as diotalevi had suggested I do - so that the majority surfing with a regular graphical browser can conveniently reveal the text by selecting it, and those using more "exotical" means have it concealed before the view the source. That would probably cover all bases.
