We have a rule

.chapter {
page-break-after: left;
}

This generates sometimes empty pages only containing the page number and the chapter name within the header.

This there a way leave such pages completely empty?

You can style these pages using @page:blank { ... }

This works partly. I am table to hide the headline display through a flow(...) how ever we have a rule

@page arabic:left {
@bottom-left {
content: counter(page, decimal);
}
}

that we can't nullify this rule using

@page:blank {
@bottom-left {
content: "";
}
}

Also
@page:blank {
@bottom-left {
display: none;
}
}

won't work and the page number within the bottom-left region remains visible.

Also a more specialized

@page:blank arabic:left {
@bottom-left {
display: none;
}
}

does not do anything.

The last rule has incorrect syntax, how about @page arabic:blank?
