Github and some other markdown support

foldable sections, which expand on click
.

Retext does not seem to render them properly in preview. There is seems to be no button to insert them easily, at least in ReText 8.0.0.

The default previewer is based on QTextEdit, which supports only a subset of HTML.

If you want to use advanced HTML features, you can use ‘Edit → Use WebEngine (Chromium) renderer’ (first install PyQt6-WebEngine). With that renderer, the details tag works fine:

As for support in Markdown, there is a third-party extension for this: https://facelessuser.github.io/pymdown-extensions/extensions/details/.

But as it is not part of standard Markdown syntax, there is no button for it.
