How to hide some contents in first page only?

Cover pages can be added using either:

• the :first pseudo-class, or
• named pages.

You can find other related stuff in #92 too.

i tried||

@page first{
   display: table-row;
}
.first-page {
   page: first;
   display: none;
}

and it doesn't work. What's wrong in it?

Replying to this thread from 5 years ago with a possible solution to how to add a cover page: make 2 WeasyPrint.HTML objects, one containing the cover page and another containing the rest of the content and merge them together.

This applies at least to weasyprint==60.1.

# Assemble cover page Document, should generate only 1 page within weasy_coverpage_doc.pages.
coverpage_html_string = "... your function that returns coverpage html string ..."
weasy_coverpage_html = HTML(string=coverpage_html_string)
weasy_coverpage_doc = weasy_coverpage_html.render()

# Assemble content Document.
html_string = "... your function that returns content html string ..."
weasy_html = HTML(string=html_string, base_url=markdown_path)
weasy_doc = weasy_coverpage_html.render()

# Insert first (will be only) page from weasy_coverpage_doc into pages in weasy_doc.
weasy_doc.pages.insert(0, weasy_coverpage_doc.pages[0])
weasy_doc.write_pdf(f"content_with_coverpage.pdf")
