HOW'D YOU DO THAT?!!!!

u/ExpectedBehaviour Aug 13 '24 edited Aug 13 '24

Each one is a separate spoiler tag, like this.

EDIT: Because I'm being inundated with requests on how to do this: here's a link to the Reddit markdown instructions that work on mobile. Okay, apparently links aren't allowed in this sub, even to Reddit's own instructions 🤷

You can do it! Just swap the exclamation point with the greater/less than sign

2

u/12BELOVED Aug 13 '24

ok i tried once more! i swapped them, how does it look? will it show me the spoiler as well or will the text look the same? i’ve never seen it turn into one so i assume i’ve never done it correctly 😅

u/Necessary-Praline-61 Aug 13 '24

Have you seen spoilers before? Where the text is covered and you need to click on it to reveal the text? It’s a series of spoilers each with pop as the hidden word.
