+# Accordion Feature for "In This Chapter" Section
+
+## Overview
+
+This document describes the accordion feature implementation for the "In This Chapter" table of contents section.
+
+## Problem Statement
+
+Previously, there was no option to hide the "In This Chapter" section, which could be problematic on pages with extensive content (e.g., Interview Questions page).
+
+## Solution
+
+Implemented an accordion feature that allows users to toggle the visibility of the "In This Chapter" section.
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### Files Created
+
+1. **`gitbook-plugin-toc-accordion/`** - Custom HonKit plugin
+   - `index.js` - Plugin entry point
+   - `package.json` - Plugin metadata
+   - `assets/accordion.css` - Accordion styles
+   - `assets/accordion.js` - Accordion functionality
+   - `README.md` - Plugin documentation
+
+2. **`styles/website.css`** - Custom global styles (configured in book.json)
+
+### Files Modified
+
+1. **`book.json`** - Added `toc-accordion` plugin to the plugins list and configured custom styles
+2. **`node_modules/gitbook-plugin-toc-accordion`** - Symlink to local plugin
+
+## Features
+
+### ✅ User Features
+- **Click to toggle**: Click on "In This Chapter" heading to show/hide content
+- **Visual indicator**: Arrow icon that rotates based on state
+- **Default open**: Accordion starts in open state for better UX
+- **Persistent state**: User preference is saved in localStorage
+- **Smooth animations**: CSS transitions for expand/collapse
+- **Hover effects**: Visual feedback when hovering over the heading
+
+### ✅ Accessibility Features
+- **Keyboard navigation**: Works with Enter and Space keys
+- **ARIA attributes**: Proper `role`, `aria-expanded`, and `aria-label` attributes
+- **Focus indicator**: Tab navigation support
+- **Screen reader friendly**: Announces state changes
+
+### ✅ Technical Features
+- **No conflicts**: Works alongside existing `intopic-toc` plugin
+- **Responsive**: Works on all screen sizes
+- **Browser compatible**: Supports all modern browsers
+- **Lightweight**: Minimal CSS and JavaScript
+
+## How to Use
+
+1. Navigate to any page with a "In This Chapter" section
+2. Click on the "In This Chapter" heading to collapse the section
+3. Click again to expand it
+4. Your preference is automatically saved
+
+## Testing
+
+To test the feature:
+
+1. Start the development server: `npm start`
+2. Open http://localhost:4000 in your browser
+3. Navigate to any chapter page (e.g., `/en/basics/`)
+4. Click on "In This Chapter" heading to test the accordion
+5. Refresh the page to verify state persistence
+6. Try keyboard navigation (Tab + Enter/Space)
+
+## Browser Support
+
+- Chrome/Edge: ✅
+- Firefox: ✅
+- Safari: ✅
+- Opera: ✅
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+Potential improvements:
+- Add animation duration configuration
+- Add option to change default state (open/closed)
+- Add option to disable persistence
+- Add custom icons support

+# gitbook-plugin-toc-accordion
+
+A HonKit/GitBook plugin that adds accordion functionality to the "In This Chapter" section generated by the `intopic-toc` plugin.
+
+## Features
+
+- ✅ **Toggle visibility**: Click on the "In This Chapter" heading to show/hide the table of contents
+- ✅ **Visual indicator**: Arrow icon that rotates when collapsed/expanded
+- ✅ **Persistent state**: Remembers your preference using localStorage
+- ✅ **Default open**: The accordion is open by default for better UX
+- ✅ **Keyboard accessible**: Supports Enter and Space keys for toggling
+- ✅ **Smooth animations**: CSS transitions for a polished experience
+- ✅ **Hover effects**: Visual feedback on hover
+
+## Installation
+
+This plugin is already installed locally in this project. It works in conjunction with the `intopic-toc` plugin.
+
+## Usage
+
+Simply click on the "In This Chapter" heading to collapse or expand the table of contents. The state will be saved and restored when you navigate between pages.
+
+### Keyboard Navigation
+
+- Press `Tab` to focus on the "In This Chapter" heading
+- Press `Enter` or `Space` to toggle the accordion
+
+## How It Works
+
+1. The plugin loads CSS styles that add a clickable cursor and arrow indicator to the TOC heading
+2. JavaScript adds click handlers to toggle the `toc-collapsed` class
+3. The collapsed state is saved to localStorage for persistence across page loads
+4. ARIA attributes ensure screen reader compatibility
+
+## Browser Support
+
+Works in all modern browsers that support:
+- CSS3 transitions
+- localStorage API
+- ES5 JavaScript
