Description

I would like to submit an enhancement request for the WordPress Details Block. I have an education website. I have been using the WordPress Details block to create Learning Paths.

I would like to request that you add more features to the Details Block.

  1. Right now, every section shows a black triangle icon pointing to the right for each expanded section. if you have 10 sections, it shows just 10 triangle icons on the page. Can you make it where each detail block by default has an outline around the section? It would make it look like an accordion style section. That gives each detail block an outline boundary so it won't make it look like content is running together. Give it a very faint outline so it looks pleasing to the eye.
  1. Can the Details block be expanding into a Learning Path block? So many content creators are creating courses and this is forcing us to go buy 3rd party plugins. Most of those plugins are not good. I would prefer to use a native block to WordPress. The Details block is perfect for this. Giving it a next button to go to the next section would be great. A way to add an instructor's name section would be great. But the biggest request is the next button.

I am not sure if these enhancements would work with the Details block. If not,

please consider adding a Learning Path block to WordPress.

So a Next button which collapses the enclosing Details block, expands the next Details block, and scrolls it into view?

Replying to westonruter:

Yes, that works. It makes it feel like you're progressing through the course instead of having to just haphazardly expand the blocks to see content.
