Testing testing, can anyone hear me? [Is ‘roid rage real? - The Straight Dope](http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/2904/is-roid-rage-real) [noparse][http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/2904/is-roid-rage-real[/noparse]](http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/2904/is-roid-rage-real%5B/noparse%5D) (Using noparse tags) This was only a test. Had this been a real emergency, all the toilets in the building would have flushed. ---

Hmmm. On the other hand, the link in the spoiler tags seems not to work?? [spoiler][http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=11728166&posted=1#post11728166[/spoiler]Note](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=11728166&posted=1#post11728166%5B/spoiler%5DNote) that you need to copy and paste the link to get it to work. ---

Testing with text in box: What if there’s text? [Is ‘roid rage real? - The Straight Dope](http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/2904/is-roid-rage-real) Testing with fancier link: [Is road rage real?](http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/2904/is-roid-rage-real) ---

That preserved the links. Min test with single space before link: [Is ‘roid rage real? - The Straight Dope](http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/2904/is-roid-rage-real) That preserves link. ---

Just noticed this. I feel I should note that in the sample in my OP, I had to manually insert the tags. As you discovered in this thread, URLs are not automatically parsed when put in [spoiler] tags.
