Hidden text is a portion of text which you want to hide from the students' eyes, giving  them an opportunity to test their knowledge first and then open the hidden text and check the answer themselves. At first, the student sees a placeholder in the place of the hidden text. The default placeholder is "[...]". When the student clicks on the placeholder, it displays the hidden text. The second click makes the text invisible again and restores the placeholder. Hidden text doesn't take up any space on the page; it allows the developer to manipulate the page layout and provide extra material by clicking on the placeholder.

How to make text hidden.
1. Highlight that portion of your text, which you want to make invisible.
2. Execute command Menu -> Text -> Hidden_Text -> Make_this_Text_Hidden.
( Context-menu -> --MAKE-- Hidden )  or use corresponding button on the toolbar

By default, the hidden text is dark blue , but you can apply any text decoration to it, which overwrites or complements the defaults . If you apply any text decoration to the invisible text, you should also highlight those decoration tags. Otherwise the decoration is applied to the placeholder. The only restriction is: don't create nested hidden objects. Though it works, it confuses users.

Two pictures below illustrate the technique.
a)   using bar-menu



b)   using context-menu or toolbar button




How to Change Place Holder.
By default the placeholder is a pair of square brackets with dots between them   [ ... ]Here is hidden text.  But the placeholder can be any text and the text can  include pictures, media, drop text, popup window and any combination of them.

1. Type in the text for the placeholder. Add any pictures and media.  Apply text decoration as desired. The limit is 8000 characters.
2. Highlight the text ( including decoration tags which belong to pictures and media if they are inserted ).
3. Execute command Menu -> Text_Object -> Hidden_Text -> Save_Place_Holder.
( Context-menu ->--SAVE AS--  Place_Holder )

Two pictures below illustrate the technique.

a)   using bar-menu



b)   using context-menu
