This element specifies whether the contents of this run shall be hidden from display at display time in a document when the document is being displayed in a web page view. [Note: The setting should affect the normal display of text in a web page view, but an application may have settings to force hidden text to be displayed. end note] As well, this setting should not affect a normal paginated view of the document.

If this element is not present, the default value is to leave the formatting applied at previous level in the style hierarchy .If this element is never applied in the style hierarchy, then this text shall not be hidden when displayed in a document in a web page view.

[Example: Consider a run of text which shall have the hidden text property turned on for the contents of the run. This constraint is specified using the following WordprocessingML:

<w:rPr>
<w:webHidden />
</w:rPr>

This run declares that the webHidden property is set for the contents of this run, so the contents of this run will be hidden when the document contents are displayed in a web page view. end example]

Attributes

Description

val (On/Off Value)

Specifies a binary value for the property defined by the parent XML element.

A value of on, 1, or true specifies that the property shall be explicitly applied. This is the default value for this attribute, and is implied when the parent element is present, but this attribute is omitted.

A value of off, 0, or false specifies that the property shall be explicitly turned off.

[Example: For example, consider the following on/off property:

<w:… w:val="off"/>

The val attribute explicitly declares that the property is turned off. end example]

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_OnOff simple type (§2.18.67).
