Collapsible sections in notes?

[Adam Knights]

Hi,

Following on from the character universe debate I thought i'd have a play with adding support for collapsible sections in notes. I wanted to try spec dev with copilot so this was a good use case to generate the screenshots and have a chat about it. - if we want it I'd productionize the code myself.

What it might look like when editing notes:

Defaults to open right now, and then if i collapse:

And then once approved:

Caveats: 1) Syntax of :::collapse (title) up for debate 2) Sub-sections support up for debate 3) Styling would want improving 4) Default to open ok? or give notes writer control of default open / close?

But aside for that, would we want to add something like this?

Cheers

Adam

Not sure if we want this ? In particular, I don't think we want to spend
effort and maintenance a special markdown extension.

It seems to work using detail/summary already
https://gist.github.com/pierrejoubert73/902cc94d79424356a8d20be2b382e1ab
Just enter:
<details open>
<summary>Hello</summary>
World!
</details>

Or use an existing plugin
https://www.npmjs.com/package/markdown-it-collapsible

Yes, that pretty much solves it thankyou :) - we just need a tweak to allow our gcd_link_* syntax to then work inside those details sections. See one line PR: https://github.com/GrandComicsDatabase/gcd-django/pull/698
