That's an excellent suggestion. I'll look at it in a month if it's not already done by whoever's been working with the LW code (I've yet to look at it).

I know that some reddits (for example /r/gaming) do this using links. You write [something goes here](/spoiler) to get something goes here. It should be fairly easy to adapt to LW, since LW is based on reddit. In fact, it is just a matter of changing the stylesheet:

a[href$="/spoiler"] {
background: #888 !important;
color: #888 !important;
}
a[href$="/spoiler"]:hover {
background: #bbb !important;
color: black !important;
}

As an alternative that you can use right now, put the spoiler in the tooltip of a link: [spoiler](/"something goes here"), i.e. spoiler.

Basic reddit code -- unlike the /r/gaming 'hack' -- supports the following syntax: [text goes here](http://linkgoes.here "hovertext goes here") which gets you: text goes here . :-)

Basic reddit code

Indeed, basic markdown code!

Correct, even though Reddit (and by proxy Lesswrong) uses Discount rather than traditional markdown. The syntax remains the same.

Yes. This works quite well.

Actual example on reddit
