Expand

The expand shortcode displays an expandable/collapsible section of text.

Thank you!

That’s some text with a footnote1

That’s some more text with a footnote.2

Note

This only works in modern browsers flawlessly. While Internet Explorer 11 has issues in displaying it, the functionality still works.

{{% expand title="Expand me..." %}}Thank you!{{% /expand %}}

{{% expand "Expand me..." %}}Thank you!{{% /expand %}}

{{ partial "shortcodes/expand.html" (dict
  "context" .
  "title" "Expand me..."
  "content" "Thank you!"
)}}
