WordprocessingML Reference Material - Table of Contents

del (Deleted Paragraph)

This element specifies that the paragraph mark delimiting the end of a paragraph within a WordprocessingML document shall be treated as deleted (i.e. the contents of this paragraph are no longer delimited by this paragraph mark, and are combined with the following paragraph - but those contents shall not automatically be marked as deleted) as part of a tracked revision.

[Example: Consider a document consisting of two paragraphs (with each paragraph delimited by a pilcrow ¶), as follows:

If the physical character delimiting the end of the first paragraph is deleted and this change is tracked as a revision, resulting in the following:

This revision is represented using the following WordprocessingML:

<w:p>
<w:pPr>
<w:rPr>
<w:del w:id="0" … />
</w:rPr>
</w:pPr>
<w:r>
<w:t>This is paragraph one.</w:t>
</w:r>
</w:p>
<w:p>
<w:r>
<w:t>This is paragraph two.</w:t>
</w:r>
</w:p>

The del element on the run properties for the first paragraph mark specifies that this paragraph mark was deleted, and this deletion was tracked as a revision. end example]

</w:…>

 

The date attribute specifies that the date of the current annotation is January 1st 2006 at 10:00 AM, which may be used as desired. end example]

<w:… w:id="1" … >

</w:…>

 

The id attribute specifies that the ID of the current annotation is 1. This value is used to uniquely identify this annotation within the document content. end example]
