in thread spoiler tag "abuse"

Since pretty much everything I want to hide until the reader chooses to view it is code, a "hidden" attribute on the code tag, that only revealed the code within its block, when the existing download link is clicked--in exactly the way that happens now--would be one way to go.

    Never go by 'pretty much everything'. It is either everything, and you can rely on it, and you will never want to extend it, or it is not, and you need to specify it separately.

    I'd kinda assumed the <readmore> tags did this already, but I haven't actually ever played with them.

      Readmore tags only hide the text when the post is not the main one you are looking at. If you drill down to the post then the Readmore tags are automatically expanded.
