Feature request: javascript expand collapse

Feature request: javascript expand collapse

[Xin Shi]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 438 bytes --]

Hello  Experts,

I'm wondering if it's easy to implement the "javascript expand collapse" in
the published page.

For example: in this page:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emacs

One can click the [hide]  or [show] beside the Contents.


Probably in the org file, we can use:

**** A Detailed section  [+]

to indicate this collapse?

[This might be  work for Sebastian again :-), but I think this feature shall
be useful. ]

Thanks!

Xin

How does it differ from what Sebastian already implemented?

Hi Bastien,


Thanks for coming back to my request!

I'm not sure if Sebastian has already implemented it or not. I saw my
friends using a software on Mac called aquaminds to produce webnotes, and
that "expand" button is very useful when presenting across the internet
during net-work meeting.

Here is the one example page (including the "?1" after html):

http://www.aquaminds.com/synergy/index.html?1

On this page, one can see the  minus sign can be clicked and become plus
sign ...

Xin

Perhaps it's not exactly what you're looking for, but you can already
get javascript folding of an exported org file using org-info.js.

For an example click on the "toggle view" button on the following page:

http://orgmode.org/worg/code/org-info-js/#sec-1

Best,
Matt

Hi Matt,

Thanks for your response. I knew the "toggle" button, but it's not what I
need. However, I think based on the current system, it would not be too hard
to add those "expand" on ...

Ah, I see.  Still, I find Sebastian's design far better: no need to look
for this little needle (the "minus" sign), just click on the title of a
section...

In my opinion, there is no directly contradict with Sebastian's design, they
are targeting to different tasks. It'll be nice it we can include both ...

But...  to me clicking on the title or clicking on a small button would
achieve the same function: i.e. unfold the section.  I don't see where
there are two different tasks - but maybe I don't understand :/

Hi Bastien,

I'm sorry that I didn't explain it clearly. Here is what I mean. For
instance, one can  open this page:

http://orgmode.org/Changes.htm

All one can do is to click the sections and read each pages. If a certain
page turns out to be very long, there is no easy way to make it shorter in
the first place, then click on the needed parts.  One might say that you can
always put those into different sections, but I think it's just another
option for people.  If it sounds too complicated, we can just leave with
this and wait until more people need ... :)

Thanks!

Xin

The org-info.js script is explicitely done for this, and that's why
there is no long page when browsing the manual from this interface...

Hi Xin Shi,


that would be possible, but I tried to make the script work with big
pages in the first place. Folding all the paragraphs and lists would
mean to change several hundred <p> elements when loading the page. That's
the reason why I didn't implement it.
