The old board had a way to obfuscate text by assigning it a color the same as the background (eg. E3E3E3). Has that gone away?

Some boards have an actual 'spoiler' formatting that hides the text until you click on it.

How can I write hidden text?(P.S. Title is supposed to be Spoiler tag / text colour gone?)

OK thanks. No menu item for that though, right?
