Hidden spans

Jun 14, 2012 8:15 AM

We have implemented track changes in our application but now users want the ability to have a "Final without markup". This involves hiding deleted spans and just not showing the inserted decoration on inserted spans.

 

Character positions are very important to us so I don't think creating a new TextFlow with all the spans that are deleted is an option. 

 

What I really need is a way to hide spans or paragraphs so that as you continue to edit none of the character positions get off.

 

Any ideas or suggestions?

 

Thanks,

Joel

    A simple way may be you set text color of the spans you want to hide as the background color.

    If I do that it will still take up the space in composition.

     

    I found the bindable property that ensures that a FlowElement isn't merged or deleted.  I am going to try to set that to true then store off the content of the element into a scratch variable and set the text of the element to be nothing.

     

    It seems to work pretty well so far. I think I will have to make some additional custimizations for paragraphs and paragraph terminators but it works exactly how I want it to for normal spans.

     

    Thanks
