How to use Details and Summary tags - HTML Tutorial

If you've ever wanted an accordion-like user interface without all the fuss of custom JavaScript, CSS, and HTML look no further than the detail and summary tags in HTML5. Blog post: https://web-crunch.com/posts/how-to-use-details-and-summary-tags

The HTML Details Element (details) creates a container element that is only visible when toggled into an "open" state. A summary can be optionally provided using the summary element.

When combined the details and summary elements give you a primitive toggle list of content with HTML alone. I like using this pattern for frequently asked questions, support documentation, or other documentation alone. It's very handy and fast to get started with.

For this tutorial, I made a custom CodePen to demonstrate how it works. https://codepen.io/webcrunchblog/pen/vYKzvgJ
