A description of how to disable or hide rendered material - while still executing that code.
There are a number of ways to do this. Probably the best option is to use one of: the command pdfOnly, the environment prompt or the environment onlineOnly. The prompt environment and pdfonly command functionally do the same thing - they display their contents in the pdf that is compiled, but they do not display their content in the online webpage. For example, the following should appear blank online:
This is the contents of a prompt environment.
However, above - in the pdf - will be the “This is the content of a prompt environment” because we used the following code:
\begin{prompt}
This is the contents of a prompt environment.
\end{prompt}
Similarly the following should be blank online: . But, in the pdf there will be a line of
text, since we used the command:
\pdfOnly{some random content - but this command is usually used to
call commands or set configurations that apply only to the pdf output}
Finally, you can get stuff to compile to the online version, but omit it from the pdf, by using the onlineOnly environment. For example:
This should only be visible online. At least in theory.
This was generated using the code:
\begin{onlineOnly}
This should only be visible online. At least in theory.
\end{onlineOnly}
