How to hide entirely the nav page?
Hi there!
I've hired someone to transform a pdf into an epub. In the file delivered by this person, there's NO nav page (if you wanted to access the navigation, you needed to click on the TOC icon). But then I had to change a few images and make a few adjustments in the pages myself, using Sigil, and then the nav page started appearing in the book. I do not want to have that page, it's a children's book anyway. I've go back to the original file and repeated the process trying to find where that would be triggered, but couldn't find it. Why is this happening, and how could I hide/remove the nav page? I appreciate the help! Thnaks! |

Note: I do not simply hide the list/TOC, which I've seen I could with HIDDEN="HIDDEN". I want to hide/remove the entire page.

Check the spine in the OPF file. If the nav page is listed in the spine list, remove it. Done. Alternatively, if you want to remove it completely, just delete the nav file altogether. Done.

The NAV document is a required element for EPUB3. You can't just remove it. 1) the tools you're using won't let you, and 2) your EPUB3 wouldn't pass validation if they did.
Hiding is your only option. You may want to brush up on EPUB requirements. There's nothing wrong with combining the NAV with an HTML toc, but if you were truly given an EPUB3 that contained no NAV whatsoever, then you paid for a broken EPUB. Last edited by DiapDealer; 10-18-2022 at 08:59 PM. |

Put the NAV at the back of the eBook.

Ha, I guess all the other advice given is of no consequence...
