Here is a (zipped and attached) better one, using the *…* (ellipsis)
character.
All titles that have subtitles can be expanded/collapsed clicking on their
ellipsis character.
I think that's it - quite a complete job and I like it.I will not work
further on this, because the result is now good.
Norm, I would appreciate it if you try it and if anyone shares any
impressions/comments.
