Placing the  *…   *inside the *<a> <a/>* is not helpful, because clicking
on it navigates to the href of the anchor. The symbol (or text) for
collapsing/expanding must be a child (not a deeper descendant) of
*<summary>* .

Once again, without any styling (such as when the css stylesheet files
cannot be located by the browser), the *…*is properly displayed on the same
line as the title of the section. This proves that the anomalous placing on
the next line is caused by the styles that are being applied.

Thanks,
Dimitre
