## Remarks

You do not create instances of this class directly. Use the [`LayoutOptions`](../../aspose.words/document/layoutoptions/) property to access layout options for this document.

Note that after changing any of the options present in this class, [`UpdatePageLayout`](../../aspose.words/document/updatepagelayout/) method should be called in order for the changed options to be applied to the layout.

## Examples

Shows how to hide text in a rendered output document.

```csharp
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
// Insert hidden text, then specify whether we wish to omit it from a rendered document.
builder.Writeln("This text is not hidden.");
builder.Font.Hidden = true;
builder.Writeln("This text is hidden.");

doc.LayoutOptions.ShowHiddenText = showHiddenText;

doc.Save(ArtifactsDir + "Document.LayoutOptionsHiddenText.pdf");
```

Shows how to show paragraph marks in a rendered output document.

```csharp
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
// Add some paragraphs, then enable paragraph marks to show the ends of paragraphs
// with a pilcrow (¶) symbol when we render the document.
builder.Writeln("Hello world!");
builder.Writeln("Hello again!");

doc.LayoutOptions.ShowParagraphMarks = showParagraphMarks;

doc.Save(ArtifactsDir + "Document.LayoutOptionsParagraphMarks.pdf");
```

Shows how to alter the appearance of revisions in a rendered output document.

```csharp
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

// Insert a revision, then change the color of all revisions to green.
builder.Writeln("This is not a revision.");
doc.StartTrackRevisions("John Doe", DateTime.Now);
builder.Writeln("This is a revision.");
doc.StopTrackRevisions();
builder.Writeln("This is not a revision.");

// Remove the bar that appears to the left of every revised line.
doc.LayoutOptions.RevisionOptions.InsertedTextColor = RevisionColor.BrightGreen;
doc.LayoutOptions.RevisionOptions.ShowRevisionBars = false;
doc.LayoutOptions.RevisionOptions.RevisionBarsPosition = HorizontalAlignment.Right;

doc.Save(ArtifactsDir + "Revision.LayoutOptionsRevisions.pdf");
```
