I think "if it has the same name" is a bit too advanced. It might be possible with a user patch but really the problem is the nonsensical ToC itself. "Page 28" isn't something that should be in there. Maybe they have some support? |

It's a crapshoot, but have you tried the alternative TOC? It sometimes works wonders. Edit: Nvm, it's an ePub converted from PDF, so probably little chance of it being effective. |

Sometimes I like to download some publications from PressReader, however when they do the conversion [PressReader website] from PDF (or whatever file they use) to ePub, if an article spreads over "n" pages, it is rendered "n" times.
So in this example, the article "How to rescue Europe" starts on page 26 of the PDF and continues on page 27, where it occupies about half that page. Then "Chinese whisperers" starts on the second half of page 27 and ends in page 28. "Odessa's vanishing lads" then occupies just the final half of page 28. As you can see in the ToC they are rendered 2, 2 and 1 times respectively
My question is, Is there some sort of "style tweak" I could use to match the titles of the articles and hide all the repetitions? Ideally I would like to add it to a profile. Thanks!
edit: also, I would like to hide a specific chapter called "Contents", it always has the same name.
edit 2: adding screenshot of the print-matched PDF version (which is not available for download).
Edit 3: here is a clearer explanation of what i need: Essentially it is an automated hidden flow that first removes from the flow the ToC-level-1 chapter "Contents" (this bit is important as the conversion also duplicates articles shown on the magazine's ToC -original file- via links, hope that is clear enough..?) and then checks all the ToC-level-3 ones and hides the ones with similar names (i.e repetitions) keeping only one copy of each article. This would ideally be triggered via profiles or could be applied (on opening) to all files that start with the name "Name of newspaper/magazine"
