How to Remove ‘Add to Cart’ via Layout Update XML in Magento 2.1

addtocartmagento-2.1magento2xml

I'm trying to figure out how to remove the add to cart from specific items only in Magento 2.1 via "Layout Update XML on the product backend. In magento 1.x it was simple

<reference name="content">
  <remove name="product.info.addtocart"/>
</reference>

However, I haven't found a nice clean and simple method to use for Magento 2.1 – is there something similar to use on a per-item basis via update XML?

EDIT:
Ok, never could figure out anything to put the the layout XML that would remove the Add to Cart button. But I did find a crappy way to do it – CSS.

Add this into the top of the Content on the product you want to hide the add to cart

<style>.box-tocart {display: none}</style>

Far from ideal, but it does get the job sort of done.

This is possible, but the syntax has changed. Try using

<referenceBlock name="product.info.addtocart" remove="true" />

The Magento 2 DevDocs have some info about the new XML instructions.

Magento – update layout using custom layout handles

<update handle="foo_cat_a" /> might not work because it is likely being parsed before the handle (which typically adds the product.info block handle) is being parsed.

To debug handle load/merge order you can follow the directions I have specified here

I guess it depends on what your trying to add and if it needs to be at a particular point e.g before or after the add to cart button.

If after the addtocart button is ok you can use product.info.addtocart since it calls <?php echo $this->getChildHtml('', true, true) ?>.

e.g

<catalog_product_view>
    <reference name="product.info.addtocart">
        <block type="core/text" name="core-text"><action method="setText"><text><![CDATA[<div>Test</div>]]></text></action></block>
    </reference>
</catalog_product_view>

Update: If you wrap the text in a div as I have updated above it will work in the default theme like below. But this may not work quite right in other themes like the new rwd.
