Not sure how it works for PDF documents, but for HTML it's probably this

The PDF was just as a visual example of what I wanted to see happen.
The author of ""The beginner’s handbook / Debian without headaches" uses
the term "index" where I would use "table of contents.
I think the example titled "Animated Collapsible (Slide Down)" in the
link you gave may guide me to an acceptable solution.
The clarity of explanation on that page is not up to what I've come to
expect from w3schools.com .
Thanks.
I actually don't see a ToC anywhere in the link you gave me so I'm 100% sure
what you are referring to.

I want a multi-level TOC which allows expanding/collapsing an entry. I

I want to accomplish what PDF routinely does, expand/collapse TOC
display by clicking on a caret to left of the section heading.
For example, I was recently referred to
"The beginner’s handbook / Debian without headaches".
HTML at https://debian-beginners-handbook.tuxfamily.org/bookworm-

It should have been [

]
PDF at
https://download.tuxfamily.org/debianbegin/the_beginners_handbook.pdf
The PDF's index can be collapsed to 14 lines.
The HTML index is over 25 times as long at 460 single spaced lines.
Understand why ability to collapse a TOC/Index is attractive?
I have background in neither CSS nor JavaScript. I'll need examples.
