RE: Using WAI-ARIA for code folding?

Looks good, Rich. Each are reading out as a "collapsed button" that switches to "expanded" once the state changes.

One minor issue for your document: Ensure that <dt> and <dd> are the only children of <dl>. You have a <tt> element in there as a child that's not valid HTML.

Ideally, the user would be able to review, edit, copy and paste, etc.
However, being able to efficiently review code would be a good start.

I can't find those suggestions; can you point me to a specific posting?

Thanks!  I hacked up the example and got it to display two alternating
functions:

I suspect there's a simple way to display combinations of functions (toggling them individually), but my web-fu is a bit sketchy.  Help?

For extra credit, it would be great to be able to hide and show parts of functions (e.g, the body of the case construct).  Suggestions?.
