Problem making catalog ePub output

Not sure if I am just doing something stupid or not, but I am having problems generating a catalog from a single tagged group of about 235 books. I have no problems with developing a standard catalog, but am trying to generate a catalog with only the title, author, and description and after modifying the template file, keep getting a "line index out of range" error OR a "no contents" error. I looked and searched through the forums, but did not find any solutions. I am almost sure that I am simply making a wrong syntax error somewhere, but haven't figured it out. If anyone can help, that would be appreciated, or simply a pointer to the correct thread if one exists for this. thanks.

I am using the latest calibre on MacOS X.

I have the following template.xhtml set-up in my catalogs folder:
Code:
<html xmlns="{xmlns}">
    <head>
        <title>{title_str}</title>
        <meta name="catalog description header" http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
		<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheet.css" media="screen" />
    </head>
    <body>
		<p class="title">{title}</p>
		<hr class="header_divider" />
		<p class="author">{author_prefix}<a class="author">{author}</a></p>
		<hr class="description_divider" />
		<div class="description">{comments}</div>
	</body>
</html>
And below is the error reports I get:
One type of error:

You were a were a bit more aggressive in editing the template than I originally envisioned.

Patch submitted, fixed in next release.

Sorry. I just approached it like a web page and when I edited it, I tried to make it as clean code as possible. Thanks for your help though. I didn't add a ticket for this since I didn't know if it was me or calibre doing the fumbling.

I updated to the latest calibre today. Unfortunately, the custom catalog is still not working GRiker. Here is the error report:

Do you want me to continue discussing this with you here or open a ticket? Let me know. There is definitely no rush for me in this as (a) you volunteer your time in this (b) you may be working on more important stuff.

PS: thanks for all your work here and on the code.

Open a ticket, attach the template you're using, plus the error trace as posted here.
