>		The TwistyPlugin gives you several options to control the appearance of a twisty:
 
  • use link text or buttons
  • position an icon left or right
  • remember the state at the next visit of the page
Line: 14 to 24
  Twisty has a fallback mechanism in case JavaScript is not available: all content is displayed and the control buttons are hidden.

Make it obey only the first time

Changed:

<		To let the Twisty start with its content folded open the first time the visitor sees the Twisty, add the parameter firststart="show". If remember="on" is used, subsequential visits to the page will display the Twisty according the cookie setting.

Other use: hide interface parts in case of no JavaScript

Other use: Hide interface if no JavaScript

  You can use Twisty to show interface elements that should only be visible with JavaScript enabled. For instance the textbox control buttons in the edit screen need JavaScript to work. If a visitor does not have JavaScript on it would not make sense to show these buttons.

Special syntax: format tokens

Added:
>
>
 If you use TWiki variables inside TWISTY parameters chances are it will mess up the variable, or the rendered html. Use format tokens to 'delay' rendering of these variables until the Twisty parameters are parsed.
Changed:

<		The format tokens are the same as with FormattedSearch:
