To do a spoiler you need to
[spoiler at the start then at the end [/spoiler , but you need to put a bracket at each end of the word spoiler. [spoiler]. I can't put them in the example because then it wouldn't show the how it is done, it would just show the spoiler.
Hope that makes sense. You can practise then go to preview to see if it works.
