Does the table require any specific structure?

For optimal functionality, the table should have a <thead> tag defining the header. The collapsing functionality is primarily activated by clicking on this header. However, if you enable the “Allow Table Without <thead>” option in the settings, the plugin will also work without a <thead>.

Can I style the toggle indicator?

Yes, you can style the toggle indicator by targeting the .toggle-indicator class in your CSS.

How do I set a custom title for the mobile view?

You can add a data-title attribute to your table element to set a custom title that will be displayed in the mobile compact view.

Is the plugin compatible with the Gutenberg block editor?

Yes, the plugin includes a Gutenberg block for easy creation and management of collapsible tables.
