  • I opened the web inspector and made a quick sketch of how I think these sections can be improved. The changes include removing the border, setting a background colour, lowering the weight of the summary font, changing thickness and colour of the dropdown arrow, and setting a border radius. The specific post that's used as an example, fails to include the "Crude example:" in a `summary` tag inside the `details` tag, so I moved it down there, too. In case a post doesn't actually specify this, Codidact should automatically insert `<summary>Expand content</summary>`, or some other appropriate text. Letting the browser automatically set the summary text in the user's own language, is unfavourable.
  • Without nitpicking on the exact details of how to style these, this is what I came up with:
  • <!-- Citations used for a border around the screenshots so they don't blend with the background. -->
  • > ![Screenshot of the example sketched when the section is _collapsed_](https://meta.codidact.com/uploads/m1i3y35zr86mn7n9rmx7a4h8q0r3)
  • > ![Screenshot of the example sketched when the section is _expanded_](https://meta.codidact.com/uploads/4e23hna5w5byfpoywnn4u16pi34r)
  • Currently, the expansion and collapsing actions are an instant snap. It should be updated to smoothy animate the increasing and decreasing height as the section is expanded and collapsed.
  • The changes include:
  • - `<summary style="font-weight: 5;padding-left: 35px;">Crude example:</summary>`
  • - `2px solid rgb(60, 70, 75)` for `border-top` and `border-right` on `details summary::before`.
  • - `background-color: rgb(240, 245, 250);` and `border-radius: 6px;` on `details`

  • I'd stress that I think this should first and foremost apply to posts, which is what the top-level post is about. It may apply to other elements on Codidact, however, the more basic and barebones version is in place on tag wikis ([here, for example](https://software.codidact.com/categories/38/tags/7461)), and that looks fine as is.
