Hello forum,

I'm trying to do something that may not be possible in ePub.

I want to link from the text in a chapter to an html file that does not appear in the reading order. I.e., if you were to page through the ePub, the content of that html file would not appear. It can only be linked to. A link on that page would return the reader to the main content.

I've tried modifying the <spine> section in the OPF so that linear is set to "no" for the item as follows:

<itemref idref="tgt01" linear="no">

But this doesn't work in ADE or Sony (or Kindle for that matter when the file is converted to .prc). I've also tried removing the file from the <manifest> section of the OPF, but you cannot link to un-manifested files in ePub.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to accomplish this?

Thanks!
RJW
