[CSS] Control stereotype display in figure label [message #1722937]

The Appearance property page available in Papyrus Mars allows to control the stereotype display through a thin integration of the nattable framework. Good.
I'm attempting to do the same kind of things via CSS but I don't manage to find the "right" syntax to use (if existing and if supported).
I would like to let appear only the <<Block>> stereotype application in the top label where all stereotypes applied are displayed by default.

From the property page, this custom display can be achieved thanks to the column "visible".
Is there an equivalent CSS syntax to control this display ?
It would be something like:

[appliedStereotypes~=Block] {
displayStereotypes: false; => Hide everything. OK.
}

Then.....????

Reading the dedicated section [1] from the Papyrus user guide does not really help in this sense.

Hi Sébastien,

Here's the syntax for manipulating individual stereotype labels:

Label[kind=StereotypeLabel]{ /* Hide all stereotype labels */
	visible: false;
}

Label[kind=StereotypeLabel][stereotype="SysML::Blocks::Block"] { /* Display the SysML Block Stereotype Label */
	visible: true;
}

Note that some customizations only work in UML Diagrams (SysML 1.1 diagrams have diverged a lot and may not support all styling capabilities. Especially, a lot of Stereotype tags are hard-coded in SysML Diagram Elements). This one seems to work in both UML and SysML 1.1 diagrams however, so it should be OK

HTH,
Camille

Thanks Camille!
It does the trick and it's exactly what I was looking for. I think it could be useful to complete the example given in the user guide, at least with the second part of the syntax.

The notation seems to be very strict.

Label[kind=StereotypeLabel][stereotype="SysML::Blocks::Block"] { /* Display the SysML Block stereotype label */
	visible: false;
}

So, as compared to Camille's suggestion, I had to do:
* Label: uppercase instead of lowercase
* StereotypeLabel: CamelCase instead of lower case

In addition, it seems that also the stereotype needs to be fully qualified.

Label[kind=StereotypeLabel][stereotype="Block"]

does not seem to work. The full qualification SysML::Blocks::Block is required.
This is unexpected, since

Compartment[stereotype="Block"] {
	visible: false;
}

works fine.

Is this strictness expected? required?
