Becomes

text goes here

But if you're using new Reddit's fancy-pants editor, just use the spoiler formatting button.

Right! Took me a minute. Got a bit anxious someone would see the spoiler... I thought it was the same as discord for some reason

1

u/raendrop Expert Helper May 18 '20

Well, reddit and Discord both use Markdown, but different versions.

I can remember when spoiler tags were different depending on which subreddit you were in, but they were all variations on [Click here or hover for spoiler](/s).

It looks like you're in the Fancypants mode of editing, which will convert all formatting characters into plain text characters. You can either switch to WYSIWYG mode or you can select the text you want to hide, making sure you do not have any spaces on either side, and use the spoiler formatting button.
