• or manually write in the following format:

%%spoiler%%

Spoiler block

• select text and use any of the previous options
• or manually write in the following format:

:[
Spoiler title here...

]:

Example:

:[
3 ways to check if an Object has a property in JS

Using:
1. `hasOwnProperty()` method
2. `in` operator
3. Comparing with `undefined`
* * *
1) `hasOwnProperty()`
~~~js
const hero = {
  name: 'Batman'
};

hero.toString; // => function() {...}

hero.hasOwnProperty('toString'); // => false
~~~
* * *

]:

Custom styles

If you would like to style the spoiler blocks to your preference, use the following in your userstyle.css file:

/* Styling of the spoiler block title */
.summary-title {
  
}

/* Styling of the spoiler block body */
.summary-content {
  
}

Exporting styles

By default when exporting with spoiler blocks, the blocks get extended, show the body and hides the arrows. Inline spoilers stay hidden.

Alternately, if you would like to style the spoiler blocks to your liking when exporting, use the following in you userstyle.css file:

@media print {

  /* Hides the side arrow */
  .summary-title:before {
      content: "";
  }

  /* Container for spoiler blocks */
  .spoiler-block {}

  /* Container for spoiler title */
  #spoiler-block-title {}
  
  /* Container for spoiler body */
  #spoiler-block-body {
      /* Shows the body contents */
      display: block;
      animation: none;
  }

}
