Could we make it so that spoiler titles could be bolded and italicized, or possibly even use colored text?

Also, I am not sure how feasible this is, but could invisible spoilers, like invisatext be possible?

I think that's the point. It would allow devious GMs to hide information from players and they wouldn't be able to tell that there is hidden information. (A long line if inivisitext may make players highlight the area if they doubt the update/response really had multiple line breaks)

Or you could just use the program that outlines inivisitext in red
 
Indeed.
This is an example of hidden text.Just need to know your way around the bbcode.

I just went over it and couldn't find anything. (Maybe I am misunderstanding here.)

Lement hid text in their post by hiding it in URL tags without attaching a URL. This causes the text to disappear, but it's still contained within the post; thus, the text is effectively invisible.

It's pretty easy to check what BBCode someone is using by just quoting their post into the BBCode editor.

And I hid some text by taking advantage of the [hr] tag.

Frankly, I have no idea why that's a paired tag that accepts input, but [hr]This is hidden text.[/hr] gives:
This is hidden text.

But there's no URL tags in his post :p.

Edit: How strange. The URL tages seem to eat the text. I had some in my post, and now they're gone.

Yeah, I've done that before. It doesn't work as you say it does. First one has to disable the rich text editor, then quote the post. Not worth the effort for most "hidden" messages, frankly.
 
I never said it was worth the effort. It's a giant hassle, and I can't imagine why anyone would do it for any reason other than to prove a point.
 
There's an easier way than going through the BBCode quote + disable editor dance: turn on the dev tools (F-12 in Chrome), click the inspect element box at the top left, select the block of text you want to examine, and expand the element to see if the text is just text or if there's something sneaky in there.

It's still a hassle though.
 
So, how about the actually spoiler additions? I never got an answer on how feasible it would be to have bold/italicized text in spoilers, which is my main desire.
