Aha, I've found a fix, referenced at: 
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48083724/pandoc-markdown-ignore-text-in-pdf-but-include-in-html-updated

Here is what I put, and the epub ignores the latex content and the latex 
ignores the epub (html) content. Magical indeed.

`<p class="dinkus">&midast; &midast; &midast;</p>`{=html}
> \begin{center} ∗ ∗ ∗ \end{center}


Thanks for your help. Your suggestions are very useful.
