How to undo show rule for text replacement

[flat sierra]

I have replaced certain word for links which forward to a list of explanations.
Now i have a table with the same word in it and want to make an exception for this instance.
I could not figure out how to undo a top level show rule, except for placing a #show("") somewhere in the word.
Is there a better way?
Thank you very much

It's currently just planned, but you could work around by limiting the scope, so that everything but the that table is included.

You could also contextualize that replacing show rule.

one way to achieve the same result is to use a single show rule that checks which part of the document you're in, e.g.

?r

#show "blob": it => context {
  if query(selector(<mylabel>).before(here())).len() == 0 {
    // Before first <mylabel> => apply rule
    text(red, it)
  } else {
    // After <mylabel> => leave element as is
    it
  }
}

1 blob

#metadata("x")<mylabel>

2 blob

#metadata("y")<mylabel>

3 blob

in your case it might be better to do the same with a state you can toggle, instead of labels:

?r

#let s = state("showred", true)
#show "blob": it => context if s.get() { text(red, it) } else { it }

1 blob

#s.update(false)

2 blob

#s.update(true)

3 blob

That is a great solution thank you very much
