There are three main applications for this purpose:

 * (Show (and later may be hide) a string of characters within a particular paragraph.

 * Switch between to different version of a paragraph, for example a "UNIX" and a "Windows" version.

 * Reveal a (potentially large amount of) text after a click on a kind of short description or header

The first application works "Inline", the other two on a "Section".

These three applications are demonstrated underneath.

SeeSaw Macro

SeeSaw is a MoinMoin macro written by Jim Wight.

Overview

In case that a particular topic is very complex, you might have to provide quite a large amount of information. On the Web, chances are that a user will stop reading any information at all if she gets flooded with too many pieces of information.

A common technique to deal with this problem is to provide only essential information but to allow the user to "show" more information usually represented by a short description.

That's what the MoinMoin macro SeeSaw is designed to do.

These three applications are demonstrated underneath.
