intro: adding a toggled additional info section
To not overload the page with a lot of information some additional information that is mostly only useful for new or not very experienced users is "hided" within a section that is toggled off by default. The user need to click on the extra new added button to make the section visible.

+ <div class="centered-middle-50 centered-middle-50-none-list">
+ <p><em><strong>Provided image types - official vs. non official images</strong></em></p>
+ <ul class="centered-middle-50-none-list">
+ <li>The Debian Developers are required to follow the rules of the
+ <a href="$(HOME)/social_contract#guidelines">Debian Free Software
+ Guidelines (DFSG)</a>!<br/>
+ This mean that all installation images, no matter on the supported
+ platform or architecture, need to be made and created only based on
+ free software that is based on the ground of the DFSG.</li>
+ <li>Unfortunately quite a lot of manufactures of PC hardware (e.g.
+ CPUs, NICs or video cards) are requiring the usage of a firmware blobs
+ to make the hardware work as expected.</li>
+ <li>Given such firmware files are pre-compiled binaries with no official
+ accessible source code makes them closed source (by the DFSG).
+ This also means that such files <strong>can't</strong> be part of any
+ official Debian installation image and are excluded.</li>
+ <li>The Debian developers are aware that all official installation
+ images can cause problems while the installation process or will
+ mostly create an not fully working Debian installation if no further
+ steps and precautions are made.</li>
+ <li>Because of this circumstance there are also images provided which
+ does include such required firmware files for getting fully functional
+ hardware. They are all have an additional suffix <em><strong>non-free</em></strong>
+ as they include non-free parts from a view of the DFSG. Because such
+ images violating the DFSG they can't be an official Debian image and
+ the Debian project is marking them as <strong>non official</strong>
+ images.</li>
+ <li>Even if the images marked as non official you are not alone if you
+ want or need to use them! The Debian support channels will provide help
+ to you if required.</li>
+ <li>New users to Debian should choose such an non-free image for better
+ first timer user experience!</li>

+ ## translators: The following <div> paragraph about non-free is taken from

+ <p><em><strong>Summary:</strong></em><br/>
+ If any of the hardware in your system <strong>requires</strong> non-free
+ firmware to be loaded with the device driver, you probably want to use
+ one of the <strong>unofficial</strong> images including these
+ <strong>non-free</strong> firmwares.</p>
+ </div>
+
+ <p><em><strong>Supported architectures and platforms</strong></em></p>
+ <ul class="centered-middle-50-none-list">
+ <li>Debian can be used on various platforms that are based on different
+ CPU architectures and we build images for almost all of them. The probably
+ most used platform in Debian today is named
+ <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64">amd64</a> (started in
+ 2000) and even hardware that was bought not recently will be build up
+ by this platform. So even if your are unsure about your local
+ machine you mostly can simply grab an image build for this platform.</li>
+ <li>Another platform that might be interesting for you is called in Debian
+ i386. The importance of this platform has decreased rapidly over the
+ past years, some other distributions have dropped the support already.
+ In case you are required to use an image for that platform please use
+ one of the buttons for more downloads further down.</li>
+ <li>Each release of Debian is supporting a lot of various other hardware
+ architectures than the Intel based. For the current Debian <current_release_name>
+ release there are also images available for a list of the architectures
+ that Debian is calling than Release Critical platforms. The release
+ team is deciding which platform will be part of this list for a stable
+ release. A platform which is called release critical will get security
+ support for the whole live span of a release!</li>
+ <li>
+ Debian is providing images not only for the release critical platforms,
+ all platforms are called <a href="$(HOME)/ports/">ports</a> within the
+ Debian universe.</li>
+ </ul>
+ <div class="tip">
+ <p><em><strong>Summary:</strong></em><br/>
+ If you need a image that is for another platform than
+ <strong>amd64</strong> please use one of the buttons for more images.
+ For the Debian <current_release_name> release the full supported
+ architectures/platforms are
+ <a href="$(HOME)/ports/i386/">i386</a>,
+ <a href="$(HOME)/ports/amd64/">amd64</a>,
+ <a href="$(HOME)/ports/arm/">arm64, armel, armhf</a>,
+ <a href="$(HOME)/ports/mips/">mips, mips64el</a>,
+ <a href="$(HOME)/ports/mips64el/">mips64</a>,
+ <a href="$(HOME)/ports/powerpc/">ppc64el</a> and
+ <a href="$(HOME)/ports/s390x/">390x</a>,
+ you will find various kind of images for these architectures.</p>
