HTML <details> tag

The <details> tag represents additional details that the user can view or hide on demand.

The <summary> element inside the <details> tag provides a caption that can be clicked on to expand/collapse the details as required.

If the <summary> element is not set, then the browser will display its own caption ("Details").

By default, the <details> element is hidden unless the open attribute is set.
