show/hide toggle as in show/hide formatting marks

    • I'm am assuming you mean
    How to translate into Spanish the word "toggle" in the context of software, as in Show/Hide formatting marks toggle in MS Word?
    ​
    If that is the case (if not, please clarify), one translation would be
    Conmutador Muestra/Esconde(Muestra/Oculta) marcas de formato
    ​
    Other examples

    Regards
     
    Thanks very much. I did not know that Mostrar/Escondir might be an alternative to Mostrar/Ocultar. Is the latter considered more "geek-like" than the former? This is for a sixth-grade-level Flash educational application where a user must slide an informational window open and closed and where Open and Close are already the labels of commands that open and close files.
     
    You are welcome!

    I wouldn't quite say "geek-like", but maybe a bit more "cultured".
    However, such details can become a slippery slope as far as Spanish is concerned, because of the variety of countries that claim the most excellent language of Cervantes :thumbsup: as their own.
    Sticking my neck out :eek:, I'd say "esconder" over "ocultar" is a pretty good bet for use with children.
