    If someone is discussing the latest film, they will cover the twist or something that might ruin it for you if you haven't seen it yet.
    Highlighting it will allow you to see the text underneath.

    A spoiler is something that allows you to hide text where it might be unfair to others to have it in plain view, for example, match scores or plots in films/series etc.

    To use them, you use
    tags so that:

    [noparse]
    This text is hidden.
    [/noparse]

    Gives:
    This text is hidden.
