[Therion] Hiding cross-section symbols

[Andrew Atkinson]

-context point section

Or

-context line section

Annoyingly on xtherion one of these is called something like cross section, I cannot check as I'm on a phone.

Have you tried the built in function for showing cross sections? It gets a bit of getting use to but works well. Page 27 of thboolk.

You might be able to use, but I've never tried.

-context group sections


Be warned context doesn't always work, I imagine  as they are very untested by end users, but a bug report has ended up with a rapid fix in the past 👍
One of the first two definatly work as I've used it on labels for cross section, well it worked for labels.
