You may only see the SPOIL tag and not the ????? tag (This is the case on my computer; I know not why) - in this case, either it will give you a separate dialogue box which must be left empty to create a normal spoiler, or you need to amend the BBcode manually. Also, the spoiler name will ignore exactly one set of quotation marks.

For example:


This is the text inside.
This is the text inside.
This is the text inside.
This spoiler doesn't have a title and defaults to the normal spoiler text.
This spoiler has no title and doesn't default to the normal spoiler text; it has a random extra colon.
This spoiler has no title and doesn't default to the normal spoiler text; it has a random extra colon.


Gives you:

This is the text inside.
This is the text inside.
This is the text inside.
This spoiler doesn't have a title and defaults to the normal spoiler text.
This spoiler has no title and doesn't default to the normal spoiler text; it has a random extra colon.
This spoiler has no title and doesn't default to the normal spoiler text; it has a random extra colon.

Incidentally, the tag being used to give the raw code is [noparse]. In a nonlocked thread, you can work out the code used to do something by quoting the person who made it. In a locked thread, it is sometimes possible to ask the mods for the code but they probably have better things to do with their time unless it's a really important thread.

In the two years since I posted the icons, they have been merged into one due to a board upgrade. Hit cancel after pressing the icon to create a spoiler without a title.
