HIDE

erases everything within its body. This is intended to help in writing documents parts which shall be used in various contexts. With hide and tag conditions it becomes very easy to let parts of a paragraph disappear (while condition paragraphs do the same for complete document sections of multiple paragraphs).

Syntax

\HIDE{options}<body>

Options

This tag supports no options of its own. It just accepts options to allow users to make the tag conditional (by a tag condition specified with option _cnd_).

Body

The paragraph parts to be hidden.

Notes

\HIDE is part of the basic tag set supported by all PerlPoint translators.

\HIDE is intended to make parts of a paragraph conditional. To make the integration of complete sections of a document depending on conditions, use condition paragraphs.

While a hidden tag body disappears in the result, Active Content in the body is evaluated during parsing (due to the used parsing method). This means that if hidden Active Contents has side effects these effects will happen.

Example

Hide something unless is is explicitly allowed.


  Last years efforts were a great success.
  \HIDE{_cnd_=internalConference}<But we
  exceeded the limits of our budget.>
