It seems that the spoiler tags should immediately precede and follow the text you intend to spoiler, instead of being placed on their own lines.
No, spoiler works on its own lines.

Spoiler also works on multiple lines. For yesterday’s Wordle, this uses one spoiler tag.

America’s 250th birthday, the semiquincentennial
The US celebrated 200 years of the signing of the Declaration of Independence on Independence Day, 04 July 1976, its bicentennial celebration. Next year on 04 July 2026 the US will celebrate 250 years, or its semiquincentennial. The occasion, for short, is known as Semiquin.
Per wiki, official planning for the celebrations began in 2016 with the congressional, non-partisan United States Semiquincentennial Commission. The commission was established under then-president Barack Obama and its members were sworn in at Independence Hall in Philadelphia. Their official site is here,

Besides semiquincentennial, it can also be called bisesquicentennial or sestercentennial, or also quarter millennium. They all mean the 250th anniversary.
I see from this post that the footnote thingy has changed.
Let’s see [1] and also, [2].
This appears to now be a mixture of the 2 previous incarnations, wherein
you could either have an inline “footnote” which showed up as a button
with 3 dots on it which would reveal the note when clicked, or a real footnote
type option with a number with an associated footnote at the bottom of
the post.
The worst of both worlds !
Yep - that’s me - wreaking havoc and causing trouble sine 1970.
sine 1970 = 0.17364817766693
The weird thing is that when I writing up the referred post, the footnote icon was the three dots until it suddenly wasn’t[1].

I must say the[1] style is much nicer than the big globby […] icon we used to have. But it’s still not a footnote.
We’re getting warmer!
example footnote ↩︎
Before, the options were the globby icon or the real footnote, selectable
by site admins. We had the globby icon option selected.
This seems to be a backward step.
Unless this is a 3rd option..
The discourse site doesn’t help much. It suggests that this :
Text ^[footnote 1]
[^1]: footnote 1 text
should work, but I just tried it and it didn’t.

Yeah. Still not feature complete.

MathML does work here, but the sigil to start and end an expression is a $, not <math></math>.
So $x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$ yields
x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}
This sometimes trips up on ordinary prose talking about prices where multiple prices with dollar signs are included.
Thanks for that – I didn’t see that dollar-sign rule anywhere. Now to learn the syntax again.
Was having issues posting an image, but I figured out that I had to switch the editing mode.
To nitpick (who would do that here?), I believe it’s MathJax, not MathML.
