Hi marytg,
No, I'm an old fogey from the cobweb-ridden past, so I wrote all my stuff in Word, but did not use Smashwords or any other conversion system. I cut-&-pasted into an html editor then hand-coded the html because I have been doing that for decades... thought I could do it easily. Wrong! Xhtml came along at just the wrong time for me, so I had to upgrade all my old-fashioned html into xhtml and therein lay all my problems. I made mistakes (Gasp! Horror!).
It's red-face time on the reported error, too... after posting that the <!DOCTYPE... statement could cause that error I checked my own code for that particular chapter, finding it perfect. BUT... the version of that file inside the ePub was still an older version with a slightly different <!DOCTYPE> declaration so I can now report that this was definitely the cause of the error message. So all 9 of my novels are now error-free and I can get back to writing #10... you can be sure that the xhtml conversion process for that one will be undertaken with a lot more care!
