Yes you cut the midrib out and digard .
Lots of plants can be produced by this method, but leaves are more liable to rot and die. More suitable for the experienced grower.

If a large number of plants are required, then choose a broad leaf and cut it cleanly down either side of the midrib. The midrib is then discarded and each half of the leaf, cut face down, is set into compost in a seed tray, the cut face being just covered in compost
