Markdown spoiler sections - is there any need?
Standard markdown does not include spoiler sections (hidden until clicked on). Personally, on those rare occasions when I find need to temporarily hide something, I'm happy using <details> HTML tags instead, which gives a sufficiently similar effect:
<details>
<summary>Spoiler! Click here to reveal</summary>
Secret details
</details>
is rendered as:
Spoiler! Click here to reveal
Secret detailsHowever, I'm aware that not all Codidact communities are related to code, and not everyone is familiar with HTML. Is there any demand for a way to do this in markdown without needing to use tags?
Currently, Codidact uses CommonMark markdown, which does not support spoilers.
