Hide text affected by "Formatting Tags" on custom stage view

JonasKnudsen

Is it possible to hide text that is surrounded by a Formatting tag, so it's not displayed in a custom stageview? Maybe a line of code in the html/css file for the custom stage view?
We have a secondary language displayed on the live view, with another font controlled by formatting tags. I would like to have this removed on the stageview for the lead singers.

Hi,

You can enable the "Hide content from Live/Preview" option in the "Configure Formatting Tags" window. This hides everything between your formatting tags in the Stage View.

Assuming your secondary language is on a second line, there's another thing I’d suggest:

The line breaks are currently outside the formatting tags, which results in an empty line being displayed in the Stage View. To avoid that, you can include the line break within the formatting tag configuration and write both lines on a single line while editing the song.

Here are some screenshots to clarify what I mean:

Without line break in configuration:

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion. When i'm enable the "Hide content from Live/Preview" option, the only change are that the tags are visible in Stage view, and the preview/text view - not the presentation/theme view.
Also updated to newest version (3.1.7) without any difference.

Yeah, you're correct. The issue is that the formatting tag in the stage view only works per line and gets ignored if it spans multiple lines. For now, a workaround would be to define the formatting tag on each line.
