I'm writing a manual for a new piece of software, and I would like to be as clear as possible and include entire derivations for the governing equations. However, I understand that most users don't need that level of detail.

Does Latex have the capability for clickable icons to expand/collapse sections of the document in the PDF? I want the user to be able to click an icon to expand the text to show a new piece of the document (to show the derivation of a governing equation) without having the manual bogged down by all of these derivations.

Something like a "Show more" icon would be good, that when clicked shows the derivation.

Thanks!

    Welcome to TeX.SX. I don't know if this is possible, but in case it should not: What about showing the "entire derivations" in an appendix with several sections/subsections which could be (hyper)linked? – Stefan Pinnow Sep 02 '16 at 19:58

    packages ocg-p or ocgx can be helpful – touhami Sep 02 '16 at 20:01
  • This has nothing to do with expansion in the sense of TeX –  Sep 02 '16 at 20:02

    Whole sections (even spanning multiple pages) can be hidden and enabled by means of the ocgx2 package, but one cannot collapse the space reserved for the hidden content. – AlexG Sep 05 '16 at 09:02
