/OEBPS/Text/content0001.xhtml(13): element "body" incomplete; expected element "address", "blockquote", "del", "div", "dl", "h1", "h2", "h3", "h4", "h5", "h6", "hr", "ins", "noscript", "ns:svg", "ol", "p", "pre", "script", "table" or "ul" (with xmlns:ns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg")

Now if I put the semi colon back it passes no problem. What is this all about if you can help me to understand. Thanks!
Well, taking it out may have let it pass but only if there were errors in the TOC code. This is nothing wrong with an inline TOC. As a matter of fact this is going to be the rule for ePub version 3. The toc.ncx file will be history.

Again it would be helpful to see the line containing the simicolon to see what is going on, but I suspect the tech support guy was wrong.
