Is there a way to toggle a link macro in Sugarcube v2 to show text and then hide it?
For example, suppose I create a link called "Height" and want the player to see text describing how tall they are. When they click on the link, the text will be revealed. (Which is something I know how to do.) But how can the same link be used to hide that text?
Here is what I have so far for this endeavor:
<<link "Height">>
<<replace "#text">>Your height is about average for someone your age.<</replace>>
<</link>>: 5'10"
<span id="text"></span>
It works to reveal the text I want the player to see upon clicking the link. But I also want to give the option of hiding the same text by clicking the link again.
Thanks!

Will your text be static, as in your example, or will it be dynamic?
If it's static, then you could do something like the following: Which will require the following style: (Twine 1: goes in stylesheet-tagged passage; Twine 2: goes in Story Stylesheet)
If it's dynamic, then you could do something like the following:
I'm trying to make one of this. And this helped!
I do want to ask, what do the following mean: is _description also a variable? but uses _(underscore) instead?
is ndef means undefined?
The <<if>> macro's documentation defines the ndef operator, it is used to test if a variable has been initialised (assigned a value) yet.
So the <<if (ndef _description) or _description is "">> line is checking to see if the _description temporary variable has been assigned a value yet, or if it's value is equal to an empty String.
Thank you very much for the answer! XD
