Hidden text in XTM Visual mode consists of elements such as image alternative texts (alt texts) associated with visual items. These texts can be displayed or hidden according to the user's preference. To show or hide hidden text in Visual mode, open XTM Workbench for your project, go to the Visual mode top bar menu, and select the relevant option as needed: Show hidden text or Hide hidden text.
When it comes to MS Word documents in particular, the hidden text in is usually related to the metadata added during document creation. When one creates a Word document and starts working on it, the document starts creating the said metadata. This can include elements like comments, timestamps, tracked changes, revision marks, etc. Such metadata information is usually hidden within the file, however it may happen that it gets extracted to XTM Workbench. Fortunately, it is possible to exclude that content via the ITS rules by dint of the after-analysis file available at the backend – this file contains all the content extracted to XTM Workbench.
The recommended action is to raise a JSM ticket to the XTM International Support team with a description and examples of content that needs to be excluded. |
One example of such content is presented on the screenshot below:
...
On the back-end side, in an after-analysis file, it looks as follows:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
<w:lvlText w:val="PART%1"
xtm-id="4">PART<w:var value="%1"/>
</w:lvlText>
<w:lvlText w:val="PART %1"
xtm-id="5">PART <w:var value="%1"/>
</w:lvlText>
<w:lvlText w:val="PART %3."
xtm-id="6">PART <w:var value="%3"/>.</w:lvlText> |
In this concrete example, this element specifies the textual content that should be displayed when displaying a paragraph with a particular numbering level. It can be excluded via the ITS configuration.
Why are some inline tags grouped? Why are there inline tags missing at the beginning or end of the segment?
...
Another reason could be that one of the segments is in read-only mode, or one of them is a file repetition. These segments cannot be merged.
Last but not least, you might also mistakenly be trying to merge segments in the Review workflow step that does not allow for such actions (for more information see: What you can and cannot do in the Review step).
