"Invisible chapter title" but visible in TOC

[dxcore35]

Hello,

How to archive the automatic recognition of the chapter, but not show chapter title in the book?
* With solution that is file format indepedent (azw3 \ epub)

Example:

- Copyright page with no visible title in HTML body
- After auto-generating chapters (for example in Calibre > EPUB edit >Generate chapters from all headings)
- The copyright page should be recognized

Thanks a lot for suggestions!

I'm not sure if I understand your question but try

<h2 class="nodisplay" title="Chapter title here">Chapter title here</h2>

and in your CSS file put

.nodisplay {
display: none;
}

The stuff between the quotes for title= gets picked up the the table of contents generator (overrides what's between the begin and end tags), if I remember correctly.

If the above does what you want perhaps you could use an empty h2 tag

<h2 title="TOC stuff goes here" />

so then you don't need the CSS.

Yes, but I think the page still leaves a place holder for an empty tag. You would need to tell it not to allocate space for the tag.

<h2 style="display:none" title="TOC stuff goes here" />

or

<h2 style="display:none" title="TOC stuff goes here"></h2>

This is a technique I use regularly for Dedication, Copyright, etc. pages.

Thanks. I hadn't thought of that.

Either CSS solution either direct HTML solution works!
Thank you all, friend.
