Collapsible notes

Features
1

Many note taking apps are now including collaspable notes. I would love to be able to make a list and collaspe it and have a list under it that could also be collaspable. Workflowy, Appflowy, Notion, and Upnote are a few who have this feature.

Here's how you can enable collapsible lists and other lines in Joplin:

  1. Enable the beta editor: Tools > Options > General > Opt-in to the editor beta
  2. Install the Extra Markdown Editor Settings plugin and restart Joplin
  3. Enable code folding: Tools > Options > Extra editor settings sidebar item > Check Enable code folding > Change other settings while you're here

Click ⌄ left of a line to collapse or fold it.

Click › left of a line (or the … button on the right) to expand or unfold it.

What do I click to make the arrow point down to collaspe or fold? I can't find the v (this is just athe letter v) symbol on my keyboard.

Actually I figured it out. This only works in markdown mode yes?

you can also use the following:

<details>
  <summary>foo</summary>
bar
</details>

It will render as:

You can nest content inside, just make sure to leave empty lines.
I often combine with the search plugin. For instance:

<details>
  <summary>Invoices 2024</summary>

``search                    (you need 3 backtick here)
tag:invoice
tag:2024
``                          (here too)

</details>

Both code folding and the details tag only work in the markdown editor, not in the WYSIWYG editor. Feature request, please.
