Feature Request: Expandable categories on description pages

[Nibelheim]

Hi,

I was looking at ways to fit a lot more information on my addon description pages without requiring the user to scroll long distances to find it and then how to best display all the information in a way that would make it easy to find and easy to hide.

Expandable/collapsible information blocks I think would work out well.

An example I found online is this Firefox FAQ page.

I realize this idea would take a fair bit of work, but one can dream

The biggest problem with that is that it requires some kind of actual heirarchical structure to the page markup. BBCode doesn't provide anything remotely semantic on that front; you wouldn't be able to map, for example, [size=7] to <H1> because there's so much variation in how authors use BBCode to style headings.

Tables would be a more realistic solution to this problem -- not just for actual tabular data, but you could use them to put two blocks of text side by side -- and there must be some kind of BBCode extension for creating tables already.

Dolby added the [spoiler] tag to ESOUI. Perhaps he could add it here as well.

/edit: for now, there are the two alternatives I listed in that thread.
