I am trying to reduce the size of the preface material in our docs. I was thinking of a + or - button that would reveal or hide this content. I did it once with a flash code but wonder if I can use HTML5 to produce this with a simple button. Thoughts? BTW I have used both Oxygen and XMLMind and I perfer the later.
