Question about Expanding Text

[DavidSkoglund]

I'm new to MadCap Flare and I'm experimenting with some of the features. I want to make use of the expanding text feature and have a H2 expand to show a procedure. I haven't quite got it to do what I want it to do/think it should do.

I've got these two implementations. In the first the text isn't showing as H2, but the expand icon shows inline with the text. In the second one, the heading shows as H2 but the expand icon is not inline with the text.

Wondering what I'm doing wrong. Here's the XML code behind the two.

Code: Select all

        <MadCap:expanding>
            <h2>
                <MadCap:expandingHead>Order for an Existing Customer</MadCap:expandingHead>
            </h2>
            <MadCap:expandingBody>

              [CONTENT]

            </MadCap:expandingBody>
        </MadCap:expanding>

Code: Select all

       <MadCap:expanding>
            <MadCap:expandingHead>
                <h2>Order for a New Customer</h2>
            </MadCap:expandingHead>
            <MadCap:expandingBody>
             
              [CONTENT]

            </MadCap:expandingBody>
        </MadCap:expanding>

Expanding text is intended for displaying sections of inline text inside a paragraph, so it isn't appropriate for what you want to do.

Instead, use either a toggler or a drop down. A toggler is probably best, if you want to use headings (h2) as the link.

Thanks for the clarification. Like I said, I'm just starting to learn the product.
