how to configure a link to a page on the website that is not in the TOC

[chris-habasinski]

Hi everyone

I have the github sync integration enabled for my space.
I am trying to create a hyperlink on a page which points to a generic page that is used when no entry yet exists for that link.
Let me explain with an example.
For an existing documented feature I have - this works:

[link to documented feaure](../path/to/exists.md)

For an existing undocumented feature I want to have:

[link to undocumented feature](../extras/tbd.md)

extras/tbd.md exists BUT I do not want it to show up in my TOC.

If I create a custom SUMMARY.md file that excludes extras/tbd.md, then the file does not get copied to gitbook and the link is broken.

In general, I have been unable to create a hyperlink to any resource other than a markdown page without the link pointing to my github repository.

I could use the {% file xxxxx %} construct and make the destination an image, but the link is not presented inline.

I have tried various other methods, like linking ot the .gitbook/assets folder, trying to use content-ref but nothing allows me to hyperlink to a webpage that is not in the TOC.

Any ideas? I hope I am missing something simple.

Thanks

Chris

Hey @chris-habasinski 👋! Currently, in GitBook, any page you want to link to must be listed in the SUMMARY.md file to be accessible. There isn't a way to create a hyperlink to a page without it appearing in the TOC or SUMMARY.md. Sorry this isn't ideal 🌸
