E.g. julia docs section can be expanded / collapsed in [Julia Documentation · The Julia Language](https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/).

I would like to collapse certain `PlotDocs` section by default in [Home · Plots](https://docs.juliaplots.org/stable/).

I think you want

```julia
Documenter.HTML(
       ...
       collapselevel = 1,
       ...

```

in `make.jl`.

Thanks !  
I wish we could have more granularity on a page per page basis, but this will definitively improve the current.
