Hi! I solved this exact problem a while back:
http://drupal.org/project/restricted_text
Instead of SGML like entities, it uses bracket-enclosed text.
Also note that (as will probably happen with any module that does this) this will adversely affect caching.
Hi Ricky, I've installed your module in my Drupal 5.1. I created a page node with: This line should be visible to all [restrict:roles=authenticated user] This line should be visible only to authenticated users.[/restrict] [restrict:roles=admin] This line should be visible only to admins.[/restrict] And this is the last line visible to all But when I view it as an anonymous user or ordinary authenticated user, all lines are still visible. Is there anything I'm missing? Cheers David
HTH, Ricky

Hi Drupal devs,
In case there's anyone with a bit of spare time coming up, and open to ideas, I've had a thought for what could be (for some) a very useful module.
The idea is to have parts of a node marked-up to be visible only to certain roles.
This could be achieved with certain SGML-like markups in the node body.
For a silly example:
<h3>Sale! All boots 35% off!</h3>
<restrict role="retailer"> <p>We've picked up a big consignment of factory seconds from China. Faults are very minor, but we can't exactly charge full price for them. Otherwise, they're nice lines, and you should turn them over no problem. When you order stocks, please quote discount code #CNS4414</p> </restrict>
<restrict role="admin"> <p>FFS Ian! Get off your butt and fix up those order screens!</p> </restrict>
<restrict role="manager"> <p>Sleep easy, Caitlin, we'll get 'em off your hands. You could even come out a bit ahead.</p> </restrict>
Grab them while they last from your nearest retail outlet, or <a href="order">order them online here</a>.
Thoughts?
Cheers David
PS - My PHP is way rusty (switched to Python 5 years ago), and I'm just starting to learn the Drupal API. Otherwise I'd have a go at it myself.
