17.5.2.43 temporary

This element specifies whether the nearest ancestor structured document tag shall be removed from the WordprocessingML document when the its contents are modified.

[Note: This setting is primarily intended for creating structured document tags whose sole purpose is one-time placeholder text, and which should not return once replaced with content. end note]

If this element is omitted, then the nearest ancestor structured document tag shall not be automatically removed when its contents are modified.

[Example: Consider the following plain text structured document tag:

<w:sdt>
  <w:sdtPr>
    <w:temporary/>
    <w:text/>
  </w:sdtPr>
  …
</w:sdt>

This plain text structured document tag’s properties contain a temporary element, specifying that the structured document tag itself must be deleted from the document whenever its contents are first modified. end example]

This element’s content model is defined by the common boolean property definition in 17.17.4.
