➽ Notes:

......................... 
Collapsing from the bottom of the fold

  If you have very long hidden content, you may want a close button
  at the bottom as well as the top, when it is expanded.

<xmp>
[expand title="Read more..." swaptitle="Read less..." id="donkey"]...lots and lots of content...
<span class="collapseomatic colomat-close" id="bot-donkey">Read less...</span>
[/expand]
<xmp>
