What problem are you trying to solve?

A standard way to make content inaccessible and opaque to the user without consent, with optional preview text. More details on this proposal are in this article.

What solutions exist today?

  • Custom site-specific solutions (phpBB, TVTropes, Matrix and Discord spoilers, Reddit spoilers, sensitive media on the Fediverse and most search engines' image searchs).
  • The details element, which is not equivalent on semantic, UA behavior, and presentation grounds.

How would you solve it?

A new HTML element (and perhaps a corresponding ARIA role?) called spoiler. The specification for summary could be modified to support being an optional child of spoiler.

Anything else?

An alternative solution was proposed in #8770, but I disagree that styling alone is enough for reasons outlined in the linked article: user-agents and assistive technologies will need to behave differently when faced with spoiler semantics.
