Thanks Hussein, that's a big help. [My question was about how to use collapser() and xpath() to generate a summarized version of child nodes when collapsed].
The css you sent (sample2.css, re-attached here) causes some strange display behavior. When the node is expanded it displays as expected. When collapsed, the collapsed line of text has the correct content (including generated), but is indented by a couple of inches. Any idea what is causing this?
