You can either use the standard templates or create cutome templates.
 
To override the template predefined settings for the specific text block, check the option for a corresponding section.

Spoiler option

5. Spoiler option
Use this section to enable collapsing / expanding  behavior for the block content. Such behavior is assigned to the Spoiler standard template by default.
Also, please specify if the content is collapsed or expanded initially.
Note: when the content is collapsed, only the first text line is visible. So, you can treat the first line as a bock content sub-header.
Note: the content dynamic collapsing / expanding will work in HTML and CHM output formats only. In other formats the text block content will always be expanded.
