CSS

Use Custom styles in the Appearance menu to modify parts of the book and website like layout of the webpage, automatic additions to PDF, etc.
Also use this to apply global CSS properties.

Note: Using HTML and CSS can unlock unlimited layout possibilities that may not be achievable through the Visual editor.

Editing Clone info in Book Information

To modify the Clone URL which cannot directly be edited,

  1. Download a Pressbooks XML file from exports
  2. Open this file using a XML editor
  3. Find and delete the section that contains the clone information. (Search for the keywork “pb_is_based_on”)
  4. In Pressbooks, go to tools, Import and select this modified file. Tick the Book Information option on the import screen and this should overwrite the existing book info with the modified file.
