Hey. I have always used details like this

```plaintext
[details="open"]
This should be visible
[/details]

```

> **open**
>
> This should be visible

I wasn’t aware you could also use

```plaintext
<details open>
This should be visible
</details>

```

Will try with the =

\<details=“open”\>  
This should be visible

Doesn’t work as above

```plaintext
<details="open">
This should be visible
</details>

```

Only seems to work as per your last example.

> ****

> This should be visible

Kind of cool though as the \<\> see s to default to open. Always learning new things)routes in discourse.
