    Hey, 

    You can achieve this with a little dev, we have accordions, show/hides whatever you want to call them. You can see them in our email setup article, if you scroll the bottom.

    The html markup is really simple, we actually have these standardised as a "layout" in our wysiwyg the using CSS etc they are styles to look how they do in the article, feel free to review our content/code used.

I checked out the site, and it's exactly what we need. Is that using the same built-in functionality as the FAQ, or did you add any custom JavaScript?

I compared the classes to the ones used in the FAQ page, and they don't match, so I'm assuming you created some custom CSS to activate the accordion effect.

Yeah we have some custom css and JS for the accordions we also have modal windows which can be another nice way to display content and use the same process.
