As documented, %STARTPUBLISH% and %STOPPUBLISH% control tags can be used to define which part of a topic gets published. These tags are shown in the topic when (before the topic is published). This is also documented ("=%STARTPUBLISH%= and %STOPPUBLISH% will be visible in the viewed topic, so you can easily see what will be published from the topic.") While this might be handy for people controlling the publishing process it's rather confusing for everyone else (i.e. the majority of our users). Would it be possible to enable the display of these tags only in a debugging mode?

I suggest a PUBLISHPLUGIN_HIDETAGS preference that defaults to 0 which, if set to a "true" value, hides the tags. An admin could set the preference to 1 in Main.SitePreferences and set it to 0 in his/her user topic.

Adding myself to the "waiting for" list because I care about what happens to this issue, too.
