Is the word Spoiler hardcoded?
How to change if I want it to say Answer, for example?Also if my spoiler has 2 lines how to put page break in
E.g.

You can change the
Spoilertext to something else.

In Federated messages, the !> doesnt work even between nodebb instances that have the plugin.
Not a big issue but its actually interesting that it doesnt work.
For example here a mastodon site sends that code in a post to a nobebb site that has spoilers installed,
when it displays the post why isnt the Functionality triggered?

@julian yes I never expected it so function on Mastodon, of course not.
but when putting that symbol combination into Mastodon post, and sending it to nodebb you would think it would trigger nodebb side.
Actally its hard to understand how it doesnt activate spoiler on nodebb side, given its the same 2 characters.
Im more perplexed, than bothered, that it doesnt! -

This is different from NodeBB internally which saves markdown into the database.
The spoiler plugin might not be matching the symbols because from remote communities the line begins with
<p>>! spoilerinstead of just with>!itself.</p>
