[Xsltforms-support] Expand/collapse support

[Tim T. <tim...@gm...>]

Alain,

I was looking forward to incorporating the expand/collapse feature into an
XSLTForms project, but it looks as though this has not yet been added to
the XSLTForms code repository on GitHub. Is this correct?

Best regards,
Tim
