Accordions in Text Paragraphs#

Add an accordion element to a page. The accordion is part of the text paragraph type.

Accordion Best Practices#

Keep these guidelines in mind: - Accordions should cover a single topic. For example, an accordion could be an FAQ (every item is an FAQ), or provide information about different printing options (every item relates to printing). - The title of each accordion item should clearly present the content inside. A user should know exactly what they're going to get if they click on an accordion item.

Don't use an accordion if: - A user needs to view content in more than one accordion item at a time. - There's very little content on the page. If a page isn't very long an accordion ends up concealing information and makes it look like the page doesn't have useful info.
