Description
Greetings - great work on the new code BTW :-)
Running 4.0.0rc4
When I have failures in my test runs, the new pytest-html shows the traceback/failure info in a scrollable box that makes it hard to navigate for very verbose output. Request would be for a checkbox to expand the whole thing for easier viewabilty. or maybe or some setting where I can change the default behavior to "always show all tracecback info".

Research direction
The issue names no file, test, or entry point. Start by locating the pytest-html code that renders failure tracebacks and checking how report display settings are handled. Done means verbose failure output can be expanded or shown fully through a clear user-facing option, with the behavior covered by the relevant tests.
