The Expand shortcode displays an expandable/collapsible section of text on your page.

## Usage

````go
{{%/* expand [ <string> [ "true" | "false" ] ] */%}}
Yes!
{{%/* /expand */%}}
````

The first optional parameter defines the text that appears next to the expand/collapse icon. The default text is `"Expand me..."`.

The second optional parameter controls if the block is initially shown as expanded (`"true"`) or collapsed (`"false"`). The default ist `"false"`.
## Examples

{{% expand "I'll tell you a secret..." %}}
...maybe the next time you'll open this expander!
{{% /expand %}}

### All defaults

{{% expand %}}
Yes, you did it!
{{% /expand %}}

{{% expand "Show markup" "true" %}}
````go
{{%/* expand */%}}
