Don’t know if this is a known thing or not, but reporting it anyway.

It appears Markdown and BBCode aren’t parsed inside `spoiler` tags:

```plaintext
[spoiler]Hello **Discourse** peeps![/spoiler]

[spoiler]Hello [b]Discourse[/b] peeps![/spoiler]

[spoiler]Hello <b>Discourse</b> peeps![/spoiler]

[spoiler]
Hello **Discourse** peeps!
[/spoiler]

[spoiler]
Hello [b]Discourse[/b] peeps!
[/spoiler]

[spoiler]
Hello <b>Discourse</b> peeps!
[/spoiler]

```

Hello **Discourse** peeps!

Hello Discourse peeps!

Hello **Discourse** peeps!

Hello **Discourse** peeps!

Hello Discourse peeps!

Hello **Discourse** peeps!
