Thank you. In general I know formfeed, only wonder how it is used.

If the file is without the formfeed, would hyperbole find the meta
data?

That question is related to generation of Hyperbole .hypb files on the
fly.

Also, does that mean that the file itself can have both buttons and
such meta data after the formfeed? If this is case, then I could
generate everything in one file and just hide the remaining part.
