Validation errors with images

lebert · 05-24-2014, 02:29 AM

I'm creating an epub with sigil by copy the html code directly into code view. If I don't include images I get no validation errors, neither with Sigil's validator nor with a couple other different ones online.

The errors shows when I include the html code for those images (I have a bunch of them), like this:

Code:

<img alt="Imagen Berlin Wall" src="../Images/my_image_1.jpg" />

I place all the images in the "Images" folder, and they show perfectly in the Book view. However, when I validate the book (after saving it), I get the following error:

Code:

FILE: OEBPS/Images/my_image_1 (notice it's not showing the file extension) MESSAGE: This resource is reachable but not present in the OPF <manifest>. "Reachable" means that a reference of some kind that points to this resource exists in the epub.

And the following warning:

Code:

This resource is present in the OPF <manifest>, but it's not reachable (it's unused).

Although those warnings/errors seems pretty self-explanatory, the thing is that everything seems fine in my epub. The file is in the folder it should be, it's actually being used, it does show in the manifest with the right path, etc... So I don't know how to figure out what's causing this!

Any help or advice would be much appreciated!

File names and paths in .ePub books are case sensitive. Double-check the spelling and/or insert images in Sigil via Insert > File.

Thank you very much for your response. It seems to work now, I was using a different string for the "alt" atribute, not the filename, but by using the filename seems to be fine...

A bit weird but oh well, it works!

alt="can be any text. It makes no never-mind to the link as it displays this INSTEAD of the image when needed"
