The {cloak} macro is used in conjunction with the toggle-cloak macro to show and hide blocks of content...
When pages become extremely large, or when there is information that might not always be required, you can use this macro to temporarily hide blocks of content. The user can show or hide cloaked blocks using on-screen navigation provided by the toggle-cloak macro.
The {cloak} macro has the following parameters:
{cloak:id=i|visible=v}
your content
{cloak}
Parameters
Parameter

Default
Notes

The unique ID to assign to a cloaked block of content. The toggle-cloak macro uses this ID to show and hide that block of content.

By default the cloaked content will be hidden, but you can set this parameter to true to show it by default.
