Not every collapsible needs to shout. This React subtle collapsible uses border-2 border-dashed with bg-muted/50 creating understated expandable area—perfect for supplementary content. Built with shadcn/ui containing pre and code elements for syntax-highlighted snippets. The dashed border signals optional or secondary nature; solid borders feel more permanent. Perfect for code snippets, advanced settings, debug info, or any content that's helpful but not primary—users who need it find it, others ignore it.
