Hi. Using Indesign I made an epub which has passed the validation checks.
After being sent to BookBaby (first time ive used them) they failed it's approval because of this error.

Code:

EpubCheck Info Result:\Detail: WARNING: //cdbarx/content/books/20/BK00013520/original/BK00013520.epub/OEBPS/content.opf(6,17): title element is empty

Browsing de internet I think it is because the title tag is empty.
Using Sigil I looked in the content.opf file and saw this. <dc:title />
So I put an opening title tag at the front <dc:title>Book Name<dc:title /> and saved it.

But when I do that the code splits on to the next line

Code:

    <dc:title>Book Name
    <dc:title />

Is this correct?

Thanks!
