The titles and overlays plugins add, when loaded, some advanced functionality to links, such as highlighting (overlay) and a tooltip with the url to which the link leads (title). This can be suppressed by assigning the respective attribute a blank value ( /  ). If the overlays plugin is loaded, this plugin can automatically add a border overlay to linked elements. This can be suppressed by individually assigning the linked element an empty overlay attribute, or globally by setting the book@overlaylinks attribute to.
