The visibility property: -oxy-collapse-text

Oxygen XML Editor Author allows you to set the value of the visibility property to -oxy-collapse-text, meaning that the text content of that element is not rendered. If an element is marked as -oxy-collapse-text you are not able to position the caret inside it and edit it. The purpose of -oxy-collapse-text is to make the text value of an element editable only through a form control.

The text value of an XML element will be edited using a text field form control. In this case, we want the text content not to be directly present in the Author visual editing mode:

title{
 content: oxy_textfield(edit, '#text', columns, 40);
 visibility:-oxy-collapse-text;
}
