Purpose

Permits hidden notes which can be turned on or off to be inserted into the text flow. For example, whereas in class a Teaching Machine is likely to be run live, an instructor may want to provide specialised notes for students pointing out what to look for when they run the example themselves. Such notes are a distraction in the lecture and so are turned off.

Most good HTML editors provide snippet support. In the case of a wrap snippet the author just selects the section to be wrapped and inserts the snippet. Begin and end snippets are inserted before and after the selection automatically.

Hidden notes are controlled by the .hiddenNote style in the stylesheets.
