Possible to modify Details extension to accept Markdown header syntax?

[NickC5163]

Hey folks,

Is it possible to modify the behavior of the Details extension so the first line (collapsible section header) can be inserted using Markdown header syntax?

For example, can I configure the parser to convert this:

??? ## Accordion header
    
    Content

To this:

<details><summary><h2>Accordion header</h2></summary><p>Content</p></details>

Ideally for h2s to h5s.

I'm not an expert in Python (basic understanding), so please try to ELI5 what code I can copy and paste into the details.py file.

I have tried messing around with it a bit by coping code from the section of the Markdown BlockProcessor that processer headers, to no avail :(

Thanks in advance.

I think what you are requesting is for something where an ID can be added to a Details element: #1194.

With that said, I have not yet decided upon or added such functionality, but if you follow the link, I offer some suggestions, such as wrapping the details with a <div id="some-id" markdown>.

If you must specifically have a header embedded within the summary, you will have to use raw HTML to accomplish the task. While, if I recall correctly, details may allow for inline Markdown, it will not recognize block-level syntax such as headers.

Thanks a lot for the reply. Might not be worth the effort. I'll stick to using HTML header tags for those portions of text.
