➽ 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.
[expand title="Read more..." swaptitle="Read less..." id="donkey"]...lots and lots of content...
Read less...
[/expand]
