file with hidden text

to display Hidden text
Displays text that uses the character format "hidden", when View - Formatting Marks is enabled.
False.
	0: Open hiddef.odt, enable Formatting Marks (^f10; end-of-para should be displayed); put cursor between B and C;
	1: hit Right key, cursor moves past C;
	2: hit Right key again, cursor does not move visibly;
	3: hit Right key again, cursor moves past G.
	Explanation: there is a hidden string 'def' between C and G but it is not displayed as it should. To check this, replace step 2: hit Shift-Right key to select (invisibly) the hidden string , then unhide it: ~o, h, Enter; in Character; choose FontEffects, click Hidden: string 'def' appears —because it's not hidden any longer.
Comment 1 Oliver Brinzing 2019-09-15 11:27:51 UTC
this works for me:

https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Formatting_Aids#Hidden_text

- Menu Tools.../Options/LibreOffice Writer/Formatting Aids
  [X] Hidden characters 

- enable Menu View "Formatting Marks"

Comment 3 TorrAB 2019-09-17 16:11:38 UTC
what Oliver suggested is good, but my reply somehow went astray.
 I suggested that the help be improved by adding the condition
Menu Tools.../Options/LibreOffice Writer/Formatting Aids
  [X] Hidden characters
to
View - Formatting Marks is enabled.

I'll confirm as Documentation. 
That's what we were supposed to do earlier, as written in https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=117745#c12 and as TorrAB noticed now. Also a move from bug 123091.

In https://help.libreoffice.org/6.4/en-US/text/shared/optionen/01040600.html:

1. change Heading 2 for "Display Formatting"

2. move Fields: Hidden text.. and  Fields: Hidden paragraphs ... to another page for View in https://help.libreoffice.org/6.4/en-US/text/shared/optionen/01040200.html


@TorrAB: Would you suggest adding something else?
Comment 7 TorrAB 2019-09-18 17:55:11 UTC
No. This should do it.

These two points were addressed as part of:
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/help/+/88686

https://help.libreoffice.org/7.0/en-US/text/shared/optionen/01040600.html
https://help.libreoffice.org/7.0/en-US/text/shared/optionen/01040200.html

And another "Display of" was changed to "Display formatting" in

https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/help/+/89274

(may take a few days before the online help pages are updated.  But will close now as resolved.  Reopen if problems remain.)
