Put a Background on Open Details Elements

One thing that can be just a smidge funky about the

element is that, when open, it’s not always 100% clear what is inside that element and what isn’t. I’m not saying that always matters or that it’s a particularly hard problem to solve, I’m just noting it as it came up recently for me.

details[open] {
  --bg: rgb(0 0 0 / 0.2);
  background: var(--bg);
  outline: 1rem solid var(--bg);
  margin: 0 0 2rem 0;
}
