Overview:
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.
Parameters:
The {cloak} macro has the following parameters:
{cloak:id=i|visible=v}
your content
{cloak}
| Parameter | Required | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| id |  |
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. | |
| visible |  |
false | By default the cloaked content will be hidden, but you can set this parameter to true to show it by default. |
Examples
Hints and Tips
Remember to include the composition-setup macro at the top of your content when using the cloak macro. You should also ensure that you have at least one toggle-cloak macro for each cloaked section of your content so that the user can display that content.

Is there any way to do this?
{composition-setup} {toggle-cloak:id=LongSection} *A long set of instructions* {cloak:id=LongSection} # Step One ## Sub-step # Step Two ## Etc. {cloak} {toggle-cloak:id=AnotherSection} *This gets messy* {cloak:id=AnotherSection}This item works fine but gets nested/hidden{cloak}A long set of instructions

I am using the toggle-cloak macro and the panel macro to bullet point my list items that are cloaked. This list is one long single list of cloaked items. I was hoping to save white space by separating this list into three equal columns on the page using the section and column macros. Once separated into columns, the cloaked items are no longer viewable except for the bottom-most list item in the column. No matter which list item I click on, the bottom-most cloaked items open up at the bottom of that column. Is there a way around this? Any other suggestions out there for cleaning up the extra white-space.
Thanks.

Has anyone had luck with cloaked content remembering its cloak state when shown ...Has anyone had luck with cloaked content remembering its cloak state when shown with the {include} macro?
I have a wiki page with a cloaked list. I {include} that page in another one. I put the {composition-setup} macro in both pages with a cloak.memory.duration=7 parameter. If I uncloak the list in the included page and navigate away from the parent page, upon returning the list is again cloaked.
