Making Accordion in Drupal

Accordions

What are accordions?

Accordions are a way to save space, condense information, and separate content into categories.

They consist of a navigation bar, which contains the title, heading, or label, and the body, which contains the bulk of the text. When the navigation bar is clicked, the body text will ‘open’ and appear. Clicking the bar again will ‘close’ the accordion, and the information will fold back up.
