# Paragraph Deletion via Tracked Changes (WB)
|
|
|
|
When a reviewer instructs you to delete an entire clause/paragraph, use **paragraph-level deletion** — not just deleting the text but marking the entire paragraph as removed in tracked changes.
|
|
|
|
## Two-Part Deletion
|
|
|
|
### Part 1: Paragraph Mark Deletion
|
|
|
|
Add a `w:del` element inside the paragraph's `w:pPr/w:rPr`:
|
|
|
|
```xml
|
|
<w:pPr>
|
|
<w:rPr>
|
|
<w:del w:id="7777" w:author="WB" w:date="2026-06-26T00:00:00Z"/>
|
|
</w:rPr>
|
|
</w:pPr>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This marks the paragraph marker (¶) as deleted, so the paragraph doesn't leave an empty line.
|
|
|
|
### Part 2: Content Deletion
|
|
|
|
Wrap every text run in the paragraph inside `w:del` elements, converting `w:t` to `w:delText`:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
for child in list(paragraph):
|
|
tag = child.tag.split('}')[-1]
|
|
if tag in ('r', 'ins'):
|
|
paragraph.remove(child)
|
|
del_elem = etree.SubElement(paragraph, f'{{{W}}}del')
|
|
del_elem.set(f'{{{W}}}id', '7777')
|
|
del_elem.set(f'{{{W}}}author', 'WB')
|
|
del_elem.set(f'{{{W}}}date', '2026-06-26T00:00:00Z')
|
|
|
|
target_runs = child.findall(f'{{{W}}}r') if tag == 'ins' else [child]
|
|
for r in target_runs:
|
|
t = r.find(f'{{{W}}}t')
|
|
if t is not None:
|
|
r.remove(t)
|
|
dt = etree.SubElement(r, f'{{{W}}}delText')
|
|
dt.set('{http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace}space', 'preserve')
|
|
dt.text = t.text
|
|
r.set(f'{{{W}}}rsidDel', new_rsid())
|
|
del_elem.append(r)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Key Points
|
|
|
|
- **Same del id** for both the paragraph mark and content dels (e.g., `7777`) — they're part of the same deletion operation
|
|
- **Handle existing INS runs**: If the paragraph has runs inside `w:ins` (from previous revisions), extract them and wrap in `w:del` too
|
|
- **Leave existing DEL runs untouched** — they're already deleted
|
|
- **Copy rPr**: If the original run had `rPr`, copy it into the del run so the strikethrough text renders with correct font/size
|
|
- **Use unique ids**: Pick an id that doesn't collide with existing del/ins ids in the document. Check `max(del_ids) + 1000` if unsure
|
|
|
|
### Verification
|
|
|
|
After deletion, render with OnlyOffice and check:
|
|
1. The deleted paragraph appears with strikethrough in markup view
|
|
2. Accepting all revisions removes the paragraph entirely (no empty line)
|
|
3. The paragraph mark (¶) is also deleted — no gap between surrounding paragraphs |
