How can I make the buttons show different text on different spoilers?

231,248 PointsThe button text is contained between the tags in the code that creates it. if you identify the spoilers with different selectors you can create different buttons for them:
// Create the normal button
const $button = $('<button>Reveal Spoiler</button>');
// Append only to FIRST spoiler
$('.spoiler:first-of-type').append($button);
// Create a different button
const $button2 = $('<button>Different Text Here</button>');
// Append only to the OTHER spoiler
$('.spoiler:last-of-type').append($button2);
You could also give unique classes or id's in the HTML and use simpler selectors.

15,208 PointsHow do I add new buttons?
Steven Parker
231,248 PointsThis same method of creating a button object and then using the 'append" method to place it on the page can be used to add other buttons as you wish. But it's probably more common just to write them into the HTML.

15,208 PointsWhen you selected the spoiler, you either wrote first-of-type or last-of-type. If I have three spoilers, what do I call the second spoiler?
