+ sign drop down

posts: 175 Canada

Hi,
I would like to get to know more about the + sign expandable thingme. I do not know what it is called and therefore have not been able to find info on it. So Two questions.

1. What is this feature called?

2. What switchs can be used to make it work.

I have made it work but I think there must be more that I am missing. For example I would like to have more then one paragraph contained in the expanded area. Also I see it elsewhere where the heading is right above the + but when I do it it ends up One line above!

The feature.

Thanks in advance, James

Hi James,
that's something it should be easy to find documentation on, maybe more easily on doc.tw.o which is getting a rather complete WikiSyntax doc.
I wish this feature would be a loittle more flexible.

Did you look at the code of some pges using it?
Here's something I just tested and could be what you're looking for if I understand right :

Hey Chealer9;
Yes I did look at other pages to get my example to work. However, you will notice that your example seems to have a different effect! Notice mine has an empty o where yours is a filled o (a bullet?)


I used ***-text

I suspect that you have used something different. Could you show it for me?

I did explore your link and will play with this further!

This is the type of thing I would like to help make more clear to users. I will explore and experiment. The page you linked to has examples of the code but not of the effect. so I will try different combos.

Thanks, James

Hi James, that's the code I used.
You don't get the smae effect because you use more stars. I used one.

Hey Damian thanks!

I think I am getting a grip on it now. This is a very niffty feature!

And to Chealer9, I must have been dozing when I read your reply. I did not relize that your example had the code below. I guess I thought that it was a typo or something!

  • learning curve!

Oh ya I was going to ask again what this feature is called. Then I notice in the status bar that it is java script called flipwithsign, I guess I better get java on my to learn list!
