How to Use the Accordion Snippet

About ¶

The Accordion snippet allows you to present multiple related sections of text in a collapsible format. It is especially useful for organizing long-form content such as oral histories, mission narratives, or grouped biographies.

Syntax ¶

The Accordion snippet is written using this structure:

{s:Accordion|
    {s:AccordionItem|Title 1|
        Body content for item 1.
    }
    {s:AccordionItem|Title 2|
        Body content for item 2.
    }
    ...
}

Each AccordionItem must be placed inside the main Accordion block and includes:

• A title — the clickable header that expands/collapses the item
• A body — the content that appears when expanded
  

Example ¶

Below is an example use of the Accordion snippet:

{s:Accordion|
    {s:AccordionItem|What is a Top Turret Gunner?|
        <p>The top turret was a rotating gun position on the B-17 that offered a commanding view of the skies above. Crew members stationed there had to remain alert at all times...</p>
    }
    {s:AccordionItem|Memories from the Radio Operator|
        <p>The radioman listened for Morse code transmissions throughout the mission, logging and decoding messages while blocking out the chaos around him...</p>
    }
}

Tips ¶

• You can include paragraphs, line breaks, bold or italic formatting, and even images inside an AccordionItem.
• Do not leave extra spaces or blank lines between items — this can break rendering in some themes.
• Make sure to close the outer
  tag with a closing curly brace after the last item.
  

Use Cases ¶

The Accordion snippet is ideal for:

• Grouped oral history entries
• FAQs or expandable help sections
• Multi-part stories (e.g., mission summaries from different crew members)
