Spoilers are added via the button to the left of the camera icon (hover over calls it 'insert') with Spoiler the 2nd option. Type your title for the spoiler, in this case I typed My first spoiler which gives you this text in the grey clickable box
{SPOILER="My first spoiler"][/SPOILER} (I've changed the outer square brackets to curly to disable the code)
Then add text between the two square boxes that you wish to hide unless the person chooses to press the spoiler button
i.e
Click on the grey box entitled My first spoiler to reveal the text I just added between the square boxes.
