Blank page before chapter
I am using Sigil to create an epub document. I have placed my content in seperate xhtml pages using sigils "chapter break". Works great and no added CSS code as I have seen in other threads that it can be done that way also. When I preview this in IBOOKS there is a blank page before every chapter. Each xhtml page starts and ends with its own body tag and html tag that Sigil creates when I create a new Chapter. Where do I look to correct this?

This is how EPUB works. Each indvidiual xhtml file within the EPUB needs to be a fully valid (it's own html, head, and body tags) and independent document. |

I have checked my CSS file to confirm and there is no page-break code listed anywhere. I am creating an epub using Sigil by hand - not bringing anything in - handcoding the whole thing. I included the information about the document ending as it does to show I had no extra code there that might be causing the problem.

what happens if you preview it an Adobe Digital Editions, or in other epub software. could be an IBooks only issue ?
NB readers will begin a new page for each new XHTML file encountered, but should not add an extra blank page. |

This has now started to work properly. I shut everything off and rebooted my computer, deleted the epub from my itunes account and the ipad and reuploaded. It now is working properly with no extra pages. Don't have a real explanation for it, but now it is fixed. Thanks for your suggestions.
