[Xerte-dev] Re: Hide from menu

[Kemp Johnathan]

The menu connector page offers the following features

By default it lists every page in the project, irrespective of whether it
has a page ID or not.

You can if you wish as an alternative to the default supply a start page ID
and the menu will then list all pages in the project from (and including)
the start page onwards. Additionally you can supply an end page ID and the
menu will list only up to (and including) the end page. Pages listed as
start or end pages must be given a page ID. So you could easily set up
menus such as "all pages from page 5 onwards", "all pages up to page 8"
only or "pages 5 through 8".

As a further alternative you can supply a list of page IDs, entered one per
line in a text box (like entering bullets in the bullet page) This will
construct a menu only of the pages listed.

By combining the different types of menus you could have a project set up
like the following

Title page
Contents menu (selected pages being the menu page for each chapter)
Chapter 1 menu (using a start and end page id to bracket only the pages in
this chapter
Pages 1 - n of chapter 1
Chapter 2 menu (using a start and end page id to bracket only the pages of
chapter 2
Pages 1 to n of chapter 2

etc.

In any example above where a page ID is specified then that page must be
given a page ID.

I think this pretty much covers any combination of menu that anyone might
want.

Kind regards

Johnathan
