	<overview>Use the <b>hidden</b> property to control whether lines of text in a field are hidden from the user.</overview>

		<parameters>
		</parameters>

	<value>The <b>hidden</b> of a line of a field is true or false.</value>
	<comments>If the <b>hidden</b> property of a line of text in a field is set to true, that line is hidden from the user. The content of the field remains unchanged however, allowing for the normal data parsing.<p></p><p>For example, take the following content of text in a field and their associated <b>hidden</b> property settings:</p><p></p><p>This is the text of line 1 -- hidden property 'false'</p><p>This is the text of line 2 -- hidden property 'true'</p><p>This is the text of line 3 -- hidden property 'false'</p><p></p><p>The user sees the following:</p><p></p><p>This is the text of line 1</p><p>This is the text of line 3</p><p></p><p>Executing 'put line 2 of field' results in 'This is the text of line 2'.</p></comments>
