Collapsible content blocks¶

Collapsible content blocks are UI elements that allow users to hide and reveal content within a document.^[600-developer__tools__obsidian__Obsidian-admonition.md]

Implementation in Obsidian¶

Within the Obsidian ecosystem (specifically using the obsidian-admonition plugin), these blocks are created using the collapse attribute.^[600-developer__tools__obsidian__Obsidian-admonition.md]

States¶

The collapse attribute can be configured to different default states:

• Closed: The content is hidden by default and must be expanded by the user to be read.^[600-developer__tools__obsidian__Obsidian-admonition.md]
• Open: The content is visible by default, allowing the user to collapse it manually if desired.^[600-developer__tools__obsidian__Obsidian-admonition.md]

Nesting¶

Collapsible blocks support nesting, allowing a collapsible block to be placed inside another block.^[600-developer__tools__obsidian__Obsidian-admonition.md] For example, a "closed" warning block can be nested inside an "open" note block.^[600-developer__tools__obsidian__Obsidian-admonition.md]
