That is missing one important case, that I think we were talking about.

It is normal text, that has been formatted with
Format > Character > Font Effects > Hidden.


OK, now I know there are two ways of hiding text :-) Thank you.

No, "P2" is just a name, it could be anything. You would have to look up the 
style definition of "P2" and see if it has a text:display="none" in it. And 
there can be more than one of these styles, depending on the other character 
attributes, like font, size or color.

It would seem so.
Re-inventing the wheel isn't either smart nor efficient:

I wrote a file containing just:

"This an ODT file written in LibreOffice 5.1.
"

I saved it in LO native format: an_odt_file.odt
Then I saved it as text (plain, flat, ascii):   an_odt_file.txt

I listed the directory where I saved them and:

bytes   datefile
8628may  5 20:07an_odt_file.odt
49  may  5 20:07an_odt_file.txt

I opened the txt file with various text editors (nano, leafpad, gedit,
even notepad through wine) and have not been able to find any "hidden
text" ...  Just 49 bytes including spaces and Line Feed.
What do people understand by "hidden text"? The coding put there
by a word processor?
Saving a file as text is just that: saving it as text  (plain, flat, ascii)
with nothing else.

M$Win seems to produce strange things in how some users conceive files:
macros, scripts, programs, etc. just to strip the good old codes WordStar,
WordPerfect and many others  nowadays simply _hide away_ so the user cannot
see them. But they are there, doing their tasks.

Text is text. Just like this I've just written is text and nothing more.

Even simpler:

Here is a Basic macro that just walks through the document, and deletes all 
hidden text. No unzipping, editing, etc. It just works inside the ODT document 
in LO.

It only considers normal plain text, i.e. not inside tables, sections, frames, 
footnotes, etc.
If you want that, these have to be specially coded.

REM  *  BASIC  *

Sub Main

Dim oEnum   'com.sun.star.container.XEnumerationAccess
Dim oPar
Dim oSecEnum'com.sun.star.container.XEnumerationAccess
Dim oParSection

oEnum = ThisComponent.Text.createEnumeration()
Do While oEnum.hasMoreElements()
oPar = oEnum.nextElement()
If oPar.supportsService("com.sun.star.text.Paragraph") Then
oSecEnum = oPar.createEnumeration()
Do While oSecEnum.hasMoreElements()
oParSection = 
oSecEnum.nextElement()
If oParSection.TextPortionType 
= "Text" AND oParSection.CharHidden Then
 oParSection.setString("")
End If
Loop

Here is a simple recipe that you can use with any text editor (including sed):
Please do this on a copy of your original document, or make a backup copy first.

Unzip from your document the file content.xml:
> unzip HiddenText.odt content.xml

Edit content.xml, replace all occurrences of text:display="none" with 
fo:color="#800080"
This replaces the hidden text with a colored text. I have chosen magenta 
(#800080) here; you should choose a color that is not used in your document.
> sed -e 's/text:display="none"/fo:color="#800080"/' content.xml > content2.xml

Rename the new file to content.xml
> mv content2.xml content.xml

Replace content.xml in the ODT file
> zip HiddenText.odt content.xml

Now open the file in LibreOffice, and replace the magenta-colored text with 
empty text.

Edit > Find & Replace
Other Options > Format > Font Effects > Font color > Magenta

I found that Replace All did not work. It said that it replaced the text but it 
didn't (LO 5.1.2.2 on Mac OS X). The alternative Replace and Find extension, 
however, did work. There you choose 
[:::CharColor=8388736::] as search criterium (colors are given in decimal).

Re: free text editor (was: [libreoffice-users] delete hidden formated text in odt)

2016-05-03 Thread Tim---Kracked_P_P---webmaster


I tend to have NoteTab and Notepad++ installed on most of the Windows 
systems - Win7 through Win10.


Both works fine for me.  I used one or the other when I was hand coding 
web pages back in the WinXP days.  This was before I switched to Ubuntu

Linux.

If not, there is a free program named Notepad++ .

Another fairly independent way to distribute documents is by outputting to
PDF. Every platform that I know of supports PDF.

I've been using NoteTab (from Fookes Software, in Switzerland) for several
years now as my text editor.  After using the free version (NoteTab Light)
for a few years, I upgraded to the paid version.  I still don't use any
features that aren't in the free version, but I figured the authors
deserved something for their excellent work.

You can find the free version here:

I think you'll really enjoy it.

Dear LO users,

I would like to give away *.odt files without hidden formated text.
Do you have some advice how to remove the hidden (hard-)formatted text

in a

simple way?
Is it possible by a macro?

(I am aware that you can make hidden text invisible and print the file
without
hidden text on paper. I also know how to remove properties)

Thank you in advance

Perhaps LO Find & Replace using Regular expressions would work.
Not an LO solution but SED can be useful for such tasks.
Can you post a sample of the file contents?

Walther -

Could you open your content.xml with Emacs and record a macro to 
find and remove the hidden text? (I'm not sure that qualifies as 
simple.)

Yes, you are right, but it does not solve my problem. The text file will 
contain the hidden formated text.


To make it very clear:
I do not care about the format information in the file.
I do not want the content (the hidden formated characters) in the file before

Using linux, the command line program xpath might do the job. It is capable of 
removing certain xml tags in a file like

   Thanks for this information;
  some on this list might enjoying knowing about it.

   Since I think you sent this to me by mistake, am sending on to the
list;
  I am not interested in changing.

I've been using NoteTab (from Fookes Software, in Switzerland) for several
years now as my text editor.  After using the free version (NoteTab Light)
for a few years, I upgraded to the paid version.  I still don't use any
features that aren't in the free version, but I figured the authors
deserved something for their excellent work.

You can find the free version here:
http://www.notetab.com/notetab-light

I think you'll really enjoy it.
