Article Tabs or, spoiler open state, or Page event/state access

A way to have tabs in an article, when you have a lot of content in one page is the actual request.   But I have heard there is/was issues with having tabs when it was tried in the past?...   If tabs are not possible, could we have a Spoiler that starts in the open state as a work around. (see image). On page open would be even better. Being able to access page states/events in CSS without (I get the security concerns) would the best, it open open lots of functionality.  

The Team's Response

Accepted as "In discussion"   Although I fully understand the usefulness of this, we have explored it in the past and ended up with a spaghetti of BBcode.   I am happy to have another look or try to come up with another solution but it will only be implemented if a smooth/clean solution can be found.

    This would be quite useful! I can see myself using this for toggling between quotes in English, latinized conlang and conlang in alien glyphs.

    This could also be used to create articles with multiple languages, all be it a rather clunky way of doing it.

    Support for some type of tabbed interface would be very helpful for me. If a BBCode solution isn't practical, perhaps a CSS approach could work. If we were able to set the ID of [container] elements, as well as the CLASS, then it's likely possible to create a CSS-only tab interface via the :target selector.

    This would be helpful for writing a gazetteer type of article, where it's a guidebook of sorts with tabs for different categories.
