Hi Mor Saban, we have implemented a collapse and expandable element in the advanced WYSIWYG editor. We would like to know if this function meets your expectations. Especially this feature is available only in the advanced WYSIWYG editor. We would like to suggest that you take a look at this and provide your feedback.
I've attached screenshots below for reference. Thanks for your valuable time.

Prabhakaran Parasuraman: This is needed in the Markdown Editor. Other SSG tools that compete with you in this space support this in their Markdown environments. They use admonition block syntax. You could easily have a new style of admonition block in the Markdown editor that looks something like:
:::(Accordion) (Title)
blah blah blah
:::

Shannon Greywalker: Thanks for the response. We will investigate more on this and keep you posted on the updates.

Thiru: Sorry but where is this available? I couldn't see an option in the wysiwyg editor or is it only available for markdown?
Mor Saban
Thiru: This wasn't developed yet 🙄
Shannon Greywalker
Thiru: There is nothing in the April 2022 release notes about this. As far as I can tell, you have _not_ added any functional updates for this yet.

Thiru: Shannon Greywalker posted a solution to this in HTML. Works fine.
Shannon Greywalker
Pesach Newmark: It works but it's an HTML hack that "breaks" standard Markdown syntax. It would be far better to create a special type of admonition block in Markdown syntax. For example, Doc360 already has the "Private Notes" admonition block, which does some tricky things to hide the content of the block from reader accounts.
It would be consistent with their markdown implementation so far to simply create a new type of admonition block that behaves as a collapsible block.

Hi .. what I meant was accordion text or accordion image.
Shannon Greywalker
I'll just note that the standard HTML <details><summary>Click Me!</summary>Content...</details> trick works fine in Markdown articles. Spryker site uses this, we use it. It's functional, gets the job done, and can be styled through CSS overrides. That said, it would be nice to have some sort of native :::(Collapsible)blah blah::: block in Markdown, just like for the current set of admonition blocks.

Shannon Greywalker: Thanks for this Shannon!

Shannon Greywalker: it does work, but it sucks that there is no button in the wysiwyg but you need to do that from the code view

Shannon Greywalker: Thanks, Shannon. Answers like yours are the reason we need a D360 Q&A forum.
