I've never used an epub check tool before as I tend to visually inspect the end result - If it look fine in ADE, my reader (PRS-600), Ibis Reader and EpubReader (the FF add-on), then it's fine by me.

This time I thought I'd try them on one of my epubs and see how I did.

I used the epub validator tool on threepress.org and sat back and waited for the result.

I was expecting maybe one or two errors as the code looked pretty ok to me, I did not expect what I got! 223 lines of errors!

I've had a look and can't find anything wrong. Most of the errors appear to be the same problem, heres an extact form the errors:

1.ERROR: Complete Collaborative Works of H. P. Lovecraft.epub/OEBPS/Text/aeons_ch01.xhtml(27): text not allowed here
2.ERROR: Complete Collaborative Works of H. P. Lovecraft.epub/OEBPS/Text/aeons_ch01.xhtml(27): unfinished element
3.ERROR: Complete Collaborative Works of H. P. Lovecraft.epub/OEBPS/Text/alonzo_ed.xhtml(20): element "b" from namespace "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" not allowed in this context
4.ERROR: Complete Collaborative Works of H. P. Lovecraft.epub/OEBPS/Text/alonzo_ed.xhtml(20): text not allowed here
5.ERROR: Complete Collaborative Works of H. P. Lovecraft.epub/OEBPS/Text/alonzo_ed.xhtml(20): element "sup" from namespace "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" not allowed in this context
6.ERROR: Complete Collaborative Works of H. P. Lovecraft.epub/OEBPS/Text/alonzo_ed.xhtml(22): text not allowed here
7.ERROR: Complete Collaborative Works of H. P. Lovecraft.epub/OEBPS/Text/battle_text.xhtml(50): text not allowed here

I've attached a text file with all the errors in (beware, it's long!) and the file I ran it on.

If anyone can point out where I've gone wrong on any of the errors I'd be most greatful.
