Special Vernon expandable regions

If the body text of an idea exceeds a certain size, display only the first chunk of it and make the rest viewable by clicking an expandable region. When an idea's description is excessively long (I'm looking at you, Primality Test) it risks thumb burnout among smart-phone users who are trying to scroll to read the annos.

       Most smart phones use the volume buttons as a "page down". Hope that helps.

       I take it that smart phones aren't really that smart then, eh?

       I very much doubt [Vernon] thinks any of his special regions are expendable.

       Only six fishbones? I'm still optimistic that this idea may get implemented.

       You obviously haven't come across 12864, then. linky

       I think some of the annos would need their own expandable regions for that one, RS.   

       Hey look, somebody gave me a bun! I bet this idea will be rolled out within a week. Nine fishbones, pfff!

       Having returned, defeated from the North face of some of Vernon's proposals, I liked the idea.   

       Even better, bring folding to the hb. It would be nice to have recursively expanding summaries for technical information which you think most people will know but some will misunderstand if not present.   

       I'd also like proper footnotes, while we're at it[1].
