PDF export without Callouts

[solarboi]

I have a group of notes where I export them to PDF constantly, but I have information I’d like to hide in callouts that shouldn’t be exported to the PDF. I was attempting to use callouts that are collapsed by default, but PDF export (probably rightly) exports the entire callout’s content along with the rest of the note.

Is there a way to “hide” callouts from PDF export? Or, if there’s another means of accomplishing the same sort of thing, I’m up for hearing it. However, I don’t want to use YAML for this.

I’ve used this before with success to hide certain code blocks in exports:

Hiding certain callout blocks on print

I wanted to add my solution to this earlier issue, but it was closed with no replies. I find I need this feature often. I want to print my Obsidian notes for my students, but obviously my own “to do: photocopy this” isn’t useful for other people to see. Here’s what I’ve got – works, probably not optimal. in my CSS: @media print { code, code[class*="language-ad-noprint"], pre, pre[class*="language-ad-noprint"] { display: none !important; } } and in my Obsidian note: ```ad-noprint This …

You may be able to write a custom > [!no-print] callout, use alt text on any callout ( > [!note|no-print] ) and/or a .print export rule so certain ones you’ve tagged aren’t shown in the exported PDF. I’ll have a look later.

Yeah, this seems working. A CSS snippet of:

.print {
    .callout[data-callout-metadata~="no-print"] {
        display: none;
    }
}

and in any callout that you don’t want exported, add |no-print. e.g.

> [!example|no-print] NO PRINT!
> Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit

Amazing, thank you! I figured a CSS snippet was the way to go here, but I didn’t know enough about how to get there from here. Have a great one!
