Bootstrap Accordion

The Bootstrap accordion uses collapse internally to make it collapsible. To render an expanded accordion, add the .open class on the .accordion. The Bootstrap accordion component’s animation effect depends on the prefers-reduced-motion media query.

It's also worth noting that just about any HTML can go within the <code>.accordion-body</code>, though the transition does limit overflow.
