General information

The collapsible topics format is a clone of the core topics format that adds collapsing behaviour to sections in order to reduce page size.

Barnard's format_topcoll plugin (see references below) The purpose is to offer a simple collapsing behaviour for sections in order to reduce course home page size without all the display options that Gareth's plugin offers.
