Description

Python ArviZ has a really nice HTML representation of their `InferenceData` that expands xarray's own fancy HTML representation of `xarray.Dataset`s. I believe this representation uses both CSS and javascript. You can see it in action here: https://python.arviz.org/en/latest/getting_started/XarrayforArviZ.html

Similarly, we use `` show the groups of `InferenceData` and `` to show the plaintext representation of `Dataset`. See, for example, https://julia.arviz.org/stable/working_with_inference_data/. The goal of such a representation is to make it easy for IJulia and Pluto users, as well as users of websites that display `InferenceData` objects, to get a sense for the structure of the data.



There are a few improvements we should consider making:

- [ ] Replace `` with a `
` or a ``, using CSS to style it and potentially JS to control the dropdowns. This prevents sites that have a custom `` style from breaking the display of `InferenceData`.

- [ ] Add a fancier HTML representation of `Dataset`. Something like xarray's that allows previewing of some of the array data or expanding the dimensions would be useful.
