--- Comment #33 from David Viner <[email protected]> ---
Can I just add that this is something that I've wished for in LO for years as
well?

On occasions, I've hit problems with LO (and OO before it) where something
flaky has caused odd non-repeatable issues to arise. To fix them I've often
just deleted the affected text and re-typed it. One time, I unzipped the
document file to look at the raw source of the document and found a complete
mess of styles where the nesting of start/end tags had somehow been corrupted.
I seem to remember seeing lots of occurrences where styles were turned on and
off multiple times but had no content within the style tags.

I'm sure that with the LO equivalent of Reveal Codes, this would have shown
EXACTLY what the underlying issue was and, if I could have edited it out via
the reveal codes edit mode, then this would have negated the need for retyping.

I would suggest that those (e.g. Tor) trying to close this down with a WONTFIX
really have no understanding of what the issue is in the first place. Having
such a facility would not only satisfy those who have (quite rightly) been
asking for it for too many years, but it could also help with debugging for
those programmers investigating issues around styling.

/my 2 cents worth
