Attached image collapsed-node.png
When collapsing a node in the markup view, it looks like the node is empty, except for the collapse toggle displayed on the left of the node. See the attachment.

We should display a hint between the opening and closing tag so that users can quickly see that the node is not empty.

Chrome for instance displays an ellipsis character (which can not really be distinguished from an actual node containing an ellipsis character).

FYI, There is duplicate semicolon at the end of line "color: var(--theme-body-color-inactive)" in markup.css. 

[markup.css]
.expandable.collapsed .close::before {
  /* Display an ellipsis character in collapsed nodes that can be expanded. */
  content: "\2026";
  display: inline-block;
  width: 12px;
  height: 8px;
  margin: 0 2px;
  line-height: 3px;
  color: var(--theme-body-color-inactive);;
  border-radius: 3px;
  border-style: solid;
  border-width: 1px;
  text-align: center;
  vertical-align: middle;
}

Regarding comment 14 I've set this to verified.

I've also added a note about this to the documentation:
