How to hide content from epub

[shuantsu]

Hey guys, this is my first post.

I'm using Sigil 0.7.4 to make something like this Epub:

http://www.jw.org/download/?issue=20...ng=T&isBible=0

It has endnotes and additional information. But notice that when you open it on a tablet with MoonReader, it hides the endnotes and additional information from the flow.

I tryed checking the Css and XHTML but it has nothing special. I don't know how they managed to do that.

Is there a way to hide the endnotes and additional information from the flow using Sigil?

You can hide chapters from the flow by manually adding a linear="no" attribute in the spine section of the .opf file.
However, many reading apps ignore this attribute.

moon reader thinks that it knows best and does it's own thing with some content. e.g. it also over rules some header tags sizes & layouts, changes blockquote indents....

SO test in apps that play by the rules e,g, mantano, and test on PC in different readers , such as adobe digital editions, calibre... to get a sense of what is honoured by different renderers. ADE is a good proxy for my e-ink readers, as they use it's code.

I have to use MoonReader because it is the app that everyone here uses.

Thanks, this worked! But examining the epub that I posted, I found a way to hide the endnotes using this code:

Put this on the HTML tag:

xmlns:epub="http://www.idpf.org/2007/ops"

Put this on the a tag:

epub:type="noteref"

And finally use epub:type=footnote on the aside and div of the citation:

<aside epub:type="footnote">
    <div epub:type="footnote" id="citation3">
        <p><a href="#citation_ref1">^ <strong>[1]</strong></a>Citation</p>
    </div>
</aside>

Note that the code that you posted is officially only supported by ePub3 apps and Sigil generates ePub2 books by default unless you export your book with the ePub3 plugin.

The Moonreader Plus developer appears to have modeled the rendering engine after the engine used by iBooks. Like iBooks it automatically hides aside footnotes; it even handles rearnotes without problems, which iBooks for iOS can't handle.

However, not all ePub3 apps behave in this way, because the ePub3 specs don't require reading apps to hide aside footnotes; they also don't require reading apps to display them as popups.

I.e., you can't rely on all apps behaving like Moonreader Plus.

Yeah, but I only want it to work with moonreader.
