Is there a simple way to hide object header display from Dump()?

in General

I'm using Dump() to build a simple UI and would like it not to display the headers with the object information. What is the simplest way to do this?

This simple example

List<dynamic> list = new()
{
    new { A = "1", B = "xxx", Info = new { C = 1, D = "xxx", E = "xxx" } },
    new { A = "2", B = "xxx", Info = new { C = 2, D = "xxx", E = "xxx" } }
};

list.Dump();

displays as

but I would like it to display as

Is there a simple way to achieve that?

    And what will happen if user presses Alt+2? How tables which have no headers will be collapsed?

    If you are happy enough to remove all headers from everything that is dumped in your query, then you can call

    Util.RawHtml("<style>.typeheader {display: none}</style>").Dump();

    Note this even affects objects that are dumped before this line is called.

    Alt+2 behaves as you would expect, but Alt-1 may hide everything.

    If you only want to do this on one object, but are happy enough to remove headers on nested objects, then you could try

    Util.RawHtml("<style>.InvisibleTypeheader {display: none}</style>").Dump();
Util.RawHtml(Util.ToHtmlString(true, list).Replace("<td class=\"typeheader\"", "<td class=\"InvisibleTypeheader\"")).Dump();

    Thanks @sgmoore I'll give that a try.

    @i2van I'm not concerned about collapsing tables. It's a personal project and I will be the only user, which is why I wan't to use the standard Dump() functionality as much as possible rather than having to build my own UI as HTML.

    It works perfectly for my needs and using the second method I find that passing enableExtensions:false to ToHtmlString() disables Alt+1 and Alt+2 so I needn't worry about accidentally hitting those keystrokes.
