html to epub conversion problems

Hi,
Please be kind (first post)

I have an html and associated image files, which I used to create a Kindle version of my book. I am now trying to convert this to epub format, and started off using Calibre, which was a good initial first attempt, but it has thrown up some errors.

My book, as it stands at the moment, does not have a table of contents. Is it mandatory to include one in the content.opf file?

Secondly, when I run epubchecker, the first thing it spits out is:

"ERROR: /home/paul/TIS.epub/OEBPS/content.opf(90): required elements missing"

This line is simple "<guide/>" What does this mean? I've read that this could be used to include a front cover. If so, how do I go about doing this? I've had a look through the epub specs but some of the terminology is sadly opaque to me

Best wishes

Paul
