Outline

The outline method outlines texts in tagged texts, if a group is tagged, all the texts in the group will be outlined and not just the text in the top level of the group.

To prevent the method being applied to a row, inside the method, leave the tagSearch value blank or set it to "" or use either the generic * property and set the cell value to false or the generic skip property and set the cell value to true.

See the Outline Tool for the visual editor.
