Could I suggest that well before checking with ePubcheck one should check the HTML and stylesheet with the W3C Markup Validation Service at
http://validator.w3.org/ - there is a link to the online CSS checker also. That service is free, and there is an shareware program, A Real Validator, which works off line and is available at
http://arealvalidator.com/ though it doesn't do CSS.
In my opinion there really is no point in relying on ePubcheck if the HTML and CSS isn't known to be valid.
For what it is worth I prefer to use a designated HTML editor rather than a text editor - I use the Coffee Cup HTML editor, but there are others.
I wouldn't be seen dead in a ditch with the HTML produced by OpenOffice.org.
