Error Message Has Wrong Line Number
The following error messages were generated by ePub validation at threepress.org:

ERROR: A Visual Guide to Mastering the Digitrax Zephyr.epub/content.opf(12): date value '2010-09-06T05:00:00+00:00' is not valid, YYYY[-MM[-DD]] expected

Check finished with warnings or errors!

The problem with all but the first error is that zephyr_split_030.htm has only 1251 lines! Supposedly, the number in parentheses is the line containing the error, but with Sigil I can see only 1250 lines.

Now for the first line. Where is "content.opf". Sigil does not list it within the "epub" file.

Any ideas?

Sigil reformats the source when you open an epub. The line numbers won't match.

This is an epub infrastructure file. You can see it by opening the epub with any zip tool.

The line numbers must be off by at least 1200 if that is the cause. Could they possibly refer to line numbers in the original "htm" file? That does not seem to be the case. If the error messages do not refer to the correct file and the correct line, they are virtually useless.

Check that file again. I suspect some sort of junk has got itself inserted near the end. The errors you're seeing are possibly due to code being present after the closing </body> tag. The date error is a bug in threepress' epubcheck, which doesn't recognise the full W3CDTF date code that calibre uses.

Generally speaking, if you want to check errors then I recommend unzipping the actual ePub and opening the relevant xhtml file in a text editor. On Windows, I think Notepad++ is highly useful for this kind of quick and dirty debugging.

That's what I have been doing, but with Sigil. I'll try it with gedit next.
