I'm wondering if anyone has tips on how I could go about folding/collapsing text in the output window. In other words something that normally would display like this:
Would instead display in summary like:
What I was thinking is that I would match the text as necessary, strip it, and then replace it with the summary line. When the player clicks on the '+' symbol I would replace the summary line with the full text.
What I'm unsure about is the second part. What's a good way to make space for the expanded text? Likewise I'll have to collapse space when the player clicks the + symbol again to fold the text back. Hope that makes sense.
