Need some help with coding

[turdboy]

Well I kinda need help making a special tag. You see I'm trying to make a tag for spoilers so when you type [spoil][/spoil] is displays something lie this:

****Spoiler****
------------------------------------

The text or spoil goes here 7 lines down

****End Spoiler****
------------------------------------

That's what I'd like if it's possible Im sure it's difficult to set up so your help would be greatly appreciated.

<B>****Spoiler****</B><br>
------------------------------------<br>
<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
{param}
<br><br><br><br>
<B>****End Spoiler****</B><br>
------------------------------------

If you want it that simple... I do it like this, where the user has to highlight the text to see it (idea from the old EthosHQ). I could give you the code if you want.

Heres my go at it

Code Tag:

spoil

Code Replacement:

<b>****Spoiler****<br>
-----------------------------------</b><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
{param}<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
<b>****End Spoiler****<br>
-----------------------------------</b>

Code Example:

[spoil]Well this here is a spoiler[/spoil]

Code Explanation:

This tag creates your spoiler inbetween specified tags and lots of spaces.




Hope it works

Yea give me that code to please.

Edit that doesn't work the one you gave me.

uh..It did when I tested on my forums...

Anyway, my code is:

<center><table border="0" align="center" width="500" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1">
<tr><td><font size="1" color=#ff0000><b>Spoiler, highlight to read:</b></font></td></tr>
<tr><td style="BORDER: #000000 1px solid; FONT-SIZE: 11px; COLOR: 000000; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana,Arial; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #000000;">{param}</td></tr></table></center>
