How do you all insert the "Spoiler" box with the quotation?
I'm reading scripts and posting feedback/comments and I would like to use this feature.
I tried messing with a few buttons but can't get it right.
Thanks for any help with this.

Hi, 

I loved this discovery too!

Use squared brackets instead of these curly ones:

{SPOILER} The murder was perfect!{/SPOILER}

How it looks with squared ones:

Spoiler Spoiler

The murder was perfect!

Have fun!

ETA: Don't put any line spaces in what you want hidden or it messes up. Have a go and PREVIEW to see how it looks :)

Hey Suave, that's because you used the curly bracket instead of the square. You used { and you needed to use [

I think. Lemme test it.

Spoiler Spoiler

this is it with the square bracket

Hi Tim,

The code works like HTML, you have missed the slash in the second spoiler brackets to close the tag:
[SPOILER(])WORDS YOU WANT [/SPOILER(])

I've enclosed the second squared brackets in normal brackets so you can see the code needed.
