This weeks tip is Spoiler Button

The spoiler button is used when you want to hide something in your post that can only be seen by clicking the button.

Imagine you are posting about a new book you have finished reading, you want to share your thoughts about the book but don't want to give too much away. You could put something in the spoiler that may give too much away and others could make their own choice on opening it or not.

You could run a quiz and have the answers hidden in the spoiler, or you could just use it for a bit of fun. Just look at it as something hidden from view till someone clicks the button like this example.

Spoiler

You just had to have a look didn't you ? Now click it again to hide this text.

So how do we use this magic ? Below is the code used to make the spoiler you just used. *Don't worry the hard work is already done for you

Code:

[sp]You just had to have a look didn't you ? Now click it again to hide this text.[/sp]

If you look you will see an opening code and a closing code with the text in-between. The opening code is sp in brackets and the closing one is /sp in brackets. Like this.

Code:

[sp]TEXT HERE[/sp]

You can also put images in the spoiler.

Any questions let me know.

See you next week.
