problem with Sigil validation (solution)

TheRaven81 · 04-01-2014, 04:16 PM

I was using this line, for my image:

<img alt="page005_image2" width="181px" height="136px" src="../Images/page005_image2.png" style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;" />

Using this line in Sigil 0.7.4, I got these errors in validation:

value '136px' does not match regular expression facet '[-+]?(\d+|\d+(\.\d+)?%)'
value '181px' does not match regular expression facet '[-+]?(\d+|\d+(\.\d+)?%)'

This was fixed by moving those entries(width and height) into the style section of the line:

<img alt="page005_image2" src="../Images/page005_image2.png" style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; width: 181px; height: 136px;" />

After doing this, the errors disappeared.

Hopefully this helps someone having the same issue.

It would work the old way, too. You just need to get rid of the 'px' after the numbers. It's unnecessary since pixels are the only thing they're allowed to be for those particular html image attributes.

Code:

<img alt="page005_image2" width="181" height="136" src="../Images/page005_image2.png" style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;" />

Of course, your inline style solution will work just fine, as well.

Ahh i see, well that's good to know then. I will fix my entries accordingly.

Also good to see your quick response! Good to know that this forum is still alive.

Considering the size screen many users will be using, and that some readers don't support zooming images, you could consider whether there's any point in anything other than width="100%" for an illustration.
