Property linear="no" on epub2
Hi;

Maybe some of you had this problem and were able to solve it. For my part, I haven't been successful so far and I would like to know how those who were successful handled the issue.

It turns out that I have a couple of .xhtml files that I don't want to be seen in the epub (epub2); I want them to only be accessed through a link. I tried to achieve this via the linear="no" property in the <spine> section of the .opf file. But nothing to do; at least in ADE 2.x/3.x the .xhtml files can be accessed like any of the others. Interestingly, under epub3 everything works fine, as expected, but under epub2, nothing seems to take effect.

Thank you very much in advance for any advice that allows me to solve this problem.

linear="no" does not work in ADE 2/3. It's ignored. I don't know abut ADE 4.

Ok, thank you very much! Do you know any other way to hide a .xhtml file? I don't want it to show in the epub spine. I'm speaking about epub2.

The only way to hide a xhtml file in an ePub2 that I am aware of is removing it from the spine. This, of course, causes validation errors.

Thanks. I will try it; if it works, a validation error is not important to me (in this case).
