The following file was not loaded due to invalid content or not well formed XML
Having problems converting a book using sigil.

"The following file was not loaded due to invalid content or not well formed XML:

/** GB Publishing **/Box Set - xxxxxx - Books 1 to 3/ebook/xxxxxx_14_06_21.html (line 1864: Namespace prefix 'epub' not declared)

Try setting the Clean Source preference to Mend XHTML Source Code on Open and reloading the file.

There's nothing on line 1864 apart from a block of text in <p> tags.

I'm thinking it might have something to do with my footnotes links. However, I coded these exactly as it says to do so on Amazon's guidelines.

Here is an example from the book:

Code:
<sup><a id="S-ch0-1" href="#ch0-1" epub:type="noteref">1</a></sup>
Code:
    <aside id="ch0-1" epub:type="footnote">
        <p><a epub:type="noteref" href="#S-ch0-1">¹</a> ### <a href="https:###">###</a></p>
    </aside>
I have used Amazon's Kindle Publishing Guidelines Preferred method for footnotes

Code:
<p>This footnote example uses the aside element with the epub:type attribute and bi-directional hyperlinks.<sup><a id="source" href="#ft-1-1" epub:type="noteref">1</a></sup></p>
...
<aside id="ft-1-1" epub:type="footnote">
<p><a epub:type="noteref" href="#source">1.</a> This is the footnote text, which should be placed at the end of the chapter or book.</p>
Also worth noting is I have already converted all of the books in this box set individually using sigil with no problems at all. so I can't work out what the error is.

Any ideas what my next step could be here?

Thank you.

Amazon's sample is incomplete. You need to declare the epub prefix. See the EPUB specification.
