BTW the toggle solution (expanding content) is good.
The details / summary thing absolutely kills me. There’s basically nothing you can’t do with them. Hiding and replacing markers is easy. But every component library just pretends they don’t exist. It even saves you the effort of all the aria control and expanded tags: these tags don’t need them.
Most of this is great, except for the input/datalist bits, which are not sufficiently functional to be used in any real scenario. Users expect these interfaces to be tolerant of misspellings, optional sub text under each option, mobile ux niceties, etc -- and so everyone builds this with js...

You can't actually control the open state properly from markup (the `open` attribute only sets the default state), which is why I haven't bothered with them.

Do they work well for when you want to preview text? Like show the first 100 characters of a paragraph and then click to expand?

Gimme a dark/light mode switch. CSS is allowed.
