<p><strong>Collapse It</strong> is a modern Gutenberg block that allows you to collapse or expand any content area with a smooth fade effect and a customizable “Show More / Show Less” button. The block is highly flexible, letting you set the collapsed height, button styles, and texts. It also features smart empty-content detection: if the block is empty (even if it contains an empty shortcode block), it will automatically hide itself, keeping your pages clean and professional.</p>
<p><strong>Key Features:</strong><br />
* Collapse/expand any content with a fade effect<br />
* Automatically hides when empty (even with empty shortcode or any dynamic blocks)<br />
* Customizable collapsed height<br />
* Fully customizable Show More / Show Less button (text, color, alignment, border radius, font size, padding)<br />
* Gutenberg block editor support<br />
* No tracking, no ads, no bloat<br />
* 100% WordPress Coding Standards compliant<br />
* Developer: Dashboard Team</p>
