Spoiler BBCode (auto-created and configurable)
Mod Version: 1.5, by MarkFL

This add-on, upon installation, auto-creates a new custom spoiler BBCode defining the tags (where the text to be hidden is placed between the tags).

You may set the color of the button, the color of the text on the button, and the border radii of both the button and the element containing the hidden text below the button. The button is animated, in that when it is clicked, it moves down and to the right to give the illusion of being depressed when clicked.

When the text is hidden, the button says "Show" and a tooltip advises the user that clicking it will "Reveal Contents" and when the text is shown, then button then says "Hide" and the tooltip advises the user that clicking it will "Conceal Contents."

If the product is uninstalled, then the BBCode is removed from the database.
