So everyone knows that math.stackexchange supports Tex tags, but what other tags are supported? Is there any info out there the markup supported on stackexchange sites?

In particular, I was looking for a way to put part of my question "under cut", ie, hide it and put a link that expands contents on click.

    $\begingroup$ The "under cut" term is unfamiliar to me, but it sounds like you are talking about spoiler tags. If so, this is an open feature-request. $\endgroup$

A brief guide to markdown can be found by clicking the question mark above the text box for writing questions or answers:
alt text

In addition to markdown, many html tags are supported.

    $\begingroup$ You know, that page doesn't mention the [La]TeX (like) syntax support. That would probably be a good thing to add... $\endgroup$

The markup that SE sites use is called markdown. You can read about it here.
