[expand title="Fiction" rel="fiction" swaptitle="Is like non-non-fiction"]
[expandsub1 title="Star Wars" rel="submenu-highlander" swaptitle="Hyperspeed" expanded="true"]Target Content[/expandsub1]
[expandsub1 title="Star Trek" rel="submenu-highlander" swaptitle="Warpspeed"]Target Content[/expandsub1]
[/expand]

Here is an example of how to pimp the collapse-o-matic expand to use a grey bar style using CSS.
Be sure you are using the div ad your default tag in the plugin settings.

The CSS:

.greybar {
   border: 1px dotted #aaaaaa;
   padding: 7px;
   background-position: 98% center;
   background-color: #cccccc;
}

The Code:

[expand trigclass="arrowright greybar" title="Monkeys Are Fast"]...[/expand]

To give the target content a border, use the targclass attribute:

The CSS:

.blueborder {
   border: 1px dotted blue;
   border-top: none;
   margin-left: 0;
  padding: 5px;
}

The Code:

[expand trigclass="arrowright greybar" targclass="blueborder" title="Monkeys Are Fast"]...[/expand]

.de_flag {
    background-image: url(https://lipis.github.io/flag-icon-css/flags/4x3/de.svg);
    background-size: 64px 16px;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-position: -10px center;
    padding: 7px 7px 7px 42px;
}

then add the new class to the trigclass attribute:

[expand trigclass="arrowright greybar de_flag" title="Deutschland"]...[/expand]

Shortcode

This is an example of some text that has a trigger placed inline, meaning that the trigger does not break the flow of the text. However, when this triggerhidden content is clicked and the target is expanded, the target would break the paragraph as a display: block element. Naturally, when the element is collapsed, the inline flow returns.

...However, when [expand tag="span" title="this trigger" targtag="span"]hidden content[/expand] is clicked...

The Roll-Your-Own Method

This is an example of some text that has a trigger placed inline, using the roll-your-own method. However, when this trigger hidden content is clicked and the target is expanded, the target would break the paragraph as a display: block element. Naturally, when the element is collapsed, the inline flow returns.

...However, when <span title="this trigger" class="collapseomatic" id="testme2">this trigger</span><span class="collapseomatic_content" id="target-testme2">hidden content</span>
is clicked...

Here is a nested expand to test this issue.

[expand title="Level 1" id="q1" rel="top-highlander" trigclass="must-be-one" expanded="true"]
   [expandsub1 title="Nested Level a1" id="a1" rel="a-highlander"]answer a1[/expandsub1]
   [expandsub1 title="Nested Level a2" id="a2" rel="a-highlander"]answer a2[/expandsub1]
[/expand]
[expand title="Level 2" id="q2" rel="top-highlander" trigclass="must-be-one"]
   [expandsub1 title="Nested Level b1" id="b1" rel="b-highlander"]answer b1[/expandsub1]
   [expandsub1 title="Nested Level b2" id="b2" rel="b-highlander"]answer b2[/expandsub1]
[/expand]

Here are some external triggers:

<a class="expandanchor" href="#q1">Level 1</a>
<a class="expandanchor" href="#a1">Level 1a</a>
<a class="expandanchor" href="#a2">Level 1b</a>
<a class="expandanchor" href="#q2">Level 2</a>
<a class="expandanchor" href="#b1">Level 2a</a>
<a class="expandanchor" href="#b2">Level 2b</a>

Level 1
Level 1a
Level 1b
Level 2
Level 2a
Level 2b

here we go:

[[collapse_grid cat_id="4" count="5"/]]

First let’s test the mobile-only and mobile-exclude shortcodes to see if they are included with the plugin. No, they are not.

Now we install the Graphene Theme and test…
Oops, wrong Graphene Theme. It seems This Theme is all that is required for testing the shortcodes.

Mobile Only

[[mobile only]...[/mobile-only]]

Mobile Exclude

[[mobile exclude]...[/mobile-exclude]]

Currently the slide effect and duration can be set globally under the plugin settings, but what if we want to set it individually per collapse element? We need the ability to add this via a shortcode attribute and as a data attribute for the roll-your-own method.

Shortcode Attributes

Default animation_effect is slideFade and duration is fast. As of version 1.7.3 these can be overridden using two new attributes: animation_effect and duration. Since using a shortcode will save the default effect and speed to a variable, we need to set up a separate test for the roll-your-own method

[expand title="Monkeys"]...[/expand]
[expand title="Donkeys" duration="slow"]...[/expand]
[expand title="Ninjas" animation_effect="slideToggle"]...[/expand]

When an expand element is expanded it has the .colomat-close class assigned. This class is removed when the expand element is collapsed. So, if you want to adjust how an active/expanded trigger is displayed, simply define your custom css as follows:

/*inactive/collapsed */
.collapseomatic {

}

/*active/expanded */
.collapseomatic.colomat-close {

}

Simple Demo

Using the trigclass attribute we can further assign the design of the triggers for only specific expand elements.

CSS

.collapseomatic.my_special_class {
    color: green;
}

.collapseomatic.my_special_class.colomat-close {
    color: red;
    border: 2px dotted red;
}

Shortcode

[expand title="Trigger Text" trigclass="my_special_class"]Hidden Content[/expand]

Result

Here is a typical nested collapse group with highlander grouping

[expand title="state1" id="state1" togglegroup="state-highlander"]
   [expandsub1 title="city1" id="city1" togglegroup="city-highlander"]bar1 bar2[/expandsub1]  
   [expandsub1 title="city2" id="city2" togglegroup="city-highlander"]bar3 bar4[/expandsub1]
[/expand]

[expand title="state2" id="state2" togglegroup="state-highlander"]
   [expandsub1 title="city3" id="city3" togglegroup="city-highlander"]bar5 bar6[/expandsub1]  
   [expandsub1 title="city4" id="city4" togglegroup="city-highlander"]bar7 bar8[/expandsub1]
[/expand]

Notice how the main level and nested sub-elements have their own highlander grouping defined. This makes it so the main level items do not affect the nested children expand/collapse states.
This is how it works:

Now to do the exact same thing using the roll-your-own method:

<div class="collapseomatic" id="state1"  title="state1" data-togglegroup="state-highlander">state1</div>
<div id="target-state1" class="collapseomatic_content">
   <div class="collapseomatic" id="city1" title="city1" data-togglegroup="city-highlander">city1</div>
   <div id="target-city1" class="collapseomatic_content">bar1 bar2</div>
   <div class="collapseomatic" id="city2" title="city2" data-togglegroup="city-highlander">city2</div>
   <div id="target-city2" class="collapseomatic_content ">bar3 bar4</div>
</div>

<div class="collapseomatic" id="state2" title="state2" data-togglegroup="state-highlander">state2</div>
<div id="target-state2" class="collapseomatic_content">
   <div class="collapseomatic" id="city3" title="city3" data-togglegroup="city-highlander">city3</div>
   <div id="target-city3" class="collapseomatic_content">bar5 bar6</div>
   <div class="collapseomatic " id="city4" title="city4" data-togglegroup="city-highlander">city4</div>
   <div id="target-city4" class="collapseomatic_content">bar7 bar8</div>
</div>
