Scribble output without navigation

[Reuben Thomas]

How can I get scribble/base to output HTML without the navigation elements? I just want a plain HTML page, similar to the look of the LaTeX output.

I can of course extract the "main" div from the standard output, but that seems to be somewhat shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted.

Grepping the package reveals mentions of "nonavigation" but that seems to be to do with when links are omitted because you can go no further in one direction or another.

The usual way I've done this is with some custom CSS to set the
navigation to "display: none".

Thanks. I would really prefer not to have the navigation apparatus, so I guess post-processing the output is the only thing I can do without some serious work on Scribble itself?

Is there a reason that not showing it is a problem, relative to not
having it in the HTML? The CSS approach is quite easy.

Do 'no-toc and 'no-sidebar style properties on the main part help? Or
does that still leave navigation elements that you want removed?

I'm trying to generate XHTML for inclusion in web sites (as the main page contents) and ePUB files, so it's just extra complexity and potential for something to go wrong. If it were only the first case I was interested in, the CSS solution might be fine.

That's a great improvement, thanks, although it still leaves the "tocset" div, now empty.

What I couldn't work out was how to apply the style properties to the main part without using @title, which adds a title I don't want to LaTeX output. Would I need to use "make-part" to get a part without outputting anything?

There's now a 'no-toc+aux style property to completely get rid of that div.

The 'hidden style property now works for the main document title to
skip it.

That's good, thanks; but I see that the maincolumn div is still emitted, so there's still a left margin. (I'm sorry, I hadn't looked into the CSS before to work out where the space was coming from.)

That's great, the LaTeX output is now perfect again!

For that kind of layout control, probably CSS really is the right level
to work at. The difference to me is that it make sense to have style
attributes at the Scribble level that control whether certain entities
are present --- detailed layout configuration for those entities is
meant to be at the CSS and Latex levels.
