'Read more...' expandable/collapsible text

[RossMcDonald1]

Hi! I have a Map Journal project where I would like to allow a 'read more...' button to to expand additional text for a particular section. Is this possible without having to change the template and self-host it? Could this CSS and HTML functionality be white-listed for use?

ie:

<style>

details {
border: 0px solid #aaa;
border-radius: 4px;
padding: .5em .5em 0;
}

summary {
font-weight: bold;
margin: -.5em -.5em 0;
padding: .5em;
}

details[open] {
padding: .5em;
}

details[open] summary {
border-bottom: 0px solid #aaa;
margin-bottom: .5em;
}

</style>

<div>
<p> A summary with a little bit of text.</p>

<p>
<details>
<summary>Additional details...</summary>Details, with a lot more text.</details>
</p>

</div>

Hi Ross -- Thanks for your question about using custom HTML. I don't think we'd whitelist those tags since unfortunately there are some security concerns with them. Additionally, they aren't supported in IE/Edge, so that would not be an ideal user experience for your readers.

We have heard the request to have a small collapsible region in a story map from a few other people, so we can look at possibly providing something like that in the Builder in the future.

Hi Owen,

Thank you for your feedback.

Adding that functionality would certainly be useful. I hope that you do

decide to add it.

Regards,

Ross
