Multiple macros are available to show and hide blocks of content. For example, if you want to provide a transcript with a video, you can use one of these macros to hide the transcript. Readers who want to read the transcript can click the link to expand the text.

  3. In the macro browser, select the Expand macro. The macro appears on the page. 
  4. On the page, click the Expand macro. Buttons appear for that macro.

Cloak, Toggle Cloak, and Composition Setup Macros

The Cloak macro may be used in conjunction with the Toggle Cloak macro to show and hide blocks of content. Both must be preceded by the Composition Setup macro.

To enter the Composition Setup macro

  1. Type {Com and from the list of macros, select Composition Setup.
  2. Enter the parameters in the panel of the macro. Refer to the ServiceRocket site for documentation

In this example the parameters are

cloak.toggle.type = text
cloak.toggle.open=[show]
cloak.toggle.close=[hide]

The Composition Setup macro follows. It is not visible on the completed page.

cloak.toggle.type = text
cloak.toggle.open=[show]
cloak.toggle.close=[hide]

In this example, a panel encloses a table of contents which may be shown or hidden. The first macro in the panel is the Toggle Cloak macro with the ID TOC. Next is the Cloak macro with the ID TOC. The Cloak macro contains the Table of Contents macro. Thus the Table of Contents macro is cloaked.

To enter the macros

  1. Type { and the first few characters.
  2. When the macro browser opens, select the macro from the list.
  3. In the macro dialog box, enter the ID (such as TOC in the example). 
  4. Click Save.
