Hi! ThreePress Consulting sent me here after my document failed their ePub validator, and gave me obscure, exquisitely indecipherable error messages.

Would anyone be willing to help me? I converted my book to ePub using the SmashWords "Meatgrinder," so I have no clue what errors might have been created or transferred during the conversion process, and indeed, if truth be told, I have no clue what ePub even is.

Here's the error message I got;

1. ERROR: how-to-learn-french-for-free-on-the-internet.epub/tmp_55090552e15d51ee2c08122b339ed0f6_ZdNnzu.fixed. tidied.xfixed.html(1506): attribute "start" not allowed at this point; ignored

2. Check finished with warnings or errors!

If I have posted in the wrong area, would someone please direct me to the proper place? Thanks!

I hope someone can help me. I can't make anything out of the above error, nor from the "descriptions" of the errors that ThreePress provides
