Hiding text from the reading order
Prevent unwanted text being exposed to the reader by assistive technlogy
In some cases we want to show text in a visual publication that has no value or may be disruptive to the reader that is listening to the text being read or using a screen reader. A good example of this is running heads and page numbers which we may want to appear on multiple pages.
By using a Paragraph style whose name starts with the word 'HIDDEN' Circular Software will automtaically hide this from the reading order in the exported EPUB.
![A paragraph style named HIDDEN Running Head is applied to the running head text on a parent page](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/6371f6f20d7d56d0abaa2ca1/64664801300e3196d6119963_Hidden-text.png)
For those who like code… this is achieved by applying the aria-hidden="true" attribute to the container.
