Mention Codidact uses CommonMark
- 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:
- <details><summary>Spoiler! Click here to reveal</summary>
- Secret details
- </details>
However, 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?

Markdown spoiler sections - is there any need?
