Use this template to add a spoiler '''section''' to a page (for inline text use [[Template:Hint]] instead).
This template replaces the tag provided by the <nowiki><spoiler></nowiki> extension. Originally it was intended to allow using tables (which the extension doesn't) but it turned out the template doesn't allow for it either. Still, it is recommended to use this template as we have more freedom to restyle it or change its behaviour behavior down the line if we want to.
====Known issues====
* <span style="color:red">Tables can not be formatted inside the template.</span> Suggest using definition lists as a workaround.
* Spoiler content shouldn't be too huge anyway. If you want to hide a long table of info in a page, consider adding a link to another page.
== Alternate method ==
While the examples suggested in this template work in most areas, the Template tag works if you wish to display alternative text than "Spoiler"
<spoiler show="Text for the spoiler box goes here">
Type things here. Quotes and Tables do not display correctly.
</spoiler>
==Examples==
