Of course, I tried. And I got the mentioned empty line. Because of this, we had to design a special paragraph format (height: 0pt, font-color: white, etc). I know ... Anyway, I just tried it again, just to be able to tell you that I've got the same result, and this time it actually worked! I don't know what I did different this time. However, I'm not sure how I can actually hide all Comment paragraphs at once and show them again. I've got the Sourcerer plugin sent by the Advantica people, and it appears extremely powerful. I think, I'll have a closer look at it. > Another option is to define the Comment element as a marker element. If > you do this, there is no need for conditional text at all.
