Usage

To mark a text as spoiler, enclose the passage with [spoiler] and [/spoiler].
Example:
Spoiler: [spoiler]Bruce Willis is a ghost![/spoiler]

The result is shown in the screenshot section.

Customize

The language of the link text has to be changed in the pluginfile itself: wpSpoiler.php.

CSS can be used to style the spoiler box and the links. The spoiler-div is identified by the classname spoiler_div.
The link’s class is spoiler_link_show or spoiler_link_hide, depending on the current state.

An example stylesheet code snippet:

/* wpSpoiler */ a.spoiler_link_show, a.spoiler_link_hide { background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: left center; padding-left: 18px; } a.spoiler_link_show { background-image: url(images/add.png); } a.spoiler_link_hide { background-image: url(images/delete.png); } div.spoiler_div { background-color: #ddd; margin-top: -10px; padding: 2px; }
