For completeness, none should also be an option, even though it is the default. (HTML usually works that way) So I would see the syntax as looking like: autohide="all" or autohide="sections" or autohide="vars" or autohide="$section1" or autohide="$section1,$var1" or autohide="sections,$var1" or autohide="vars,$section1" An alternative syntax that may be easier to parse is to have multiple autohide statements, eg: {{section:foo autohide="section1" autohide="$var1"}} However, this seems cumbersome. $.02 -dan
