Im doing some education material on a nodebb forum, where want the answer hidden until its clicked. I think its possible in HTML, as saw spolier somewhere before?

So to have something like Why did the chicken cross the road Answer When Answer is clicked it changes to To get to the other side

How to enter this?

@eeeee when Mastodon posts enter NodeBB we save the html in the database as-is (and sanitize it on output).

This is different from NodeBB internally which saves markdown into the database.

The spoiler plugin might not be matching the symbols because from remote communities the line begins with <p>>! spoiler instead of just with >! itself.
