Hide XML Comments with CSS or LESS in Author Mode

[friedemann_bach]

Dear Forum!

Is there a way to hide XML Comments in the Author Mode using CSS or LESS (a) in general and (b) in specific elements?

Hi,

You first need to define a namespace declaration in the CSS like:

Code: Select all

@namespace oxy "http://www.oxygenxml.com/extensions/author";

and then match the XML comment something like:

Code: Select all

oxy|comment {

    display:none !important;

}

That !important flag needs to be set because the builtin styling CSS added by Oxygen by default specifies most of its selectors using the !important flag so you need to overwrite that:

Great, Radu, thank you very much!

Hi, Radu...I'd like to request a menu choice or icon to hide/show XML comments in author mode. Thx

Hi Steve,

You can create an alternate CSS (see https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/ ... t-CSS.html), which will be displayed in the Styles menu from the toolbar.

All the best wishes,
