How to use section?

Defining new section

You can define a new section with the use of tag:

<!--sec data-title="Introduction" data-id="section0" data-show=true ces-->

Insert markdown content here (you should start with h3 if you use heading).

<!--endsec-->

A section will take three arguments, listed as follows:

• data-title: the title of the section, it will appear as the title of the bootstrap panel (with size of h2). * Please note that you cannot use the character " in the title, please use " instead.
• data-id: the id of the section, it is useful for button control (discussed in next section).
• data-show: a boolean value denoting by default, whether or not the panel content will be visible. true: the panel content is visible to user by default, the panel title will be clickable. false: the panel content is hidden to user by default, the panel title is not clickable and can only be viewed by adding a custom button (discussed in next section).
• data-nopdf: a boolean value denoting whether or not the section will be hidden in pdf exports. * true: the panel will not be shown in .pdf or .epub.
• data-collapse: a boolean value denoting whether the section will be opened (but still visible) by default. true: the panel content is visible to user by default, but closed. false: the panel content is visible to user by default, but opened (default settings).

Using a button to control section visibility

By adding inline HTML in the GitBook, the following code can add a button to allow you to view or hide other sections. Here are the explanation of each tags:

<button class="section" target="section1" show="Show next section" hide="Hide next section"></button>

• class: the button has to belong to the class "section".
• target: when pressed, the section with the id of target will be toggled.
• show: the text on the button when the target section is hidden.
• hide: the text on the button when the target section is visible.

Note that you can leave 'show' and 'hide' undefined, in this case, an up-arrow or down-arrow will be displayed instead. The button will not be outputed if exported to .pdf or other formats.

Using Custom Tag for section title

• available HTML tag for section title h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, b

{
	"pluginsConfig": {
	    "sectionx": {
	      "tag": "b"
	    }
	  }
}
