Hello
I have been using Calibre foe Mobi and Epub converstion. I have been trying to upload a file to Smashwords and it keeps failing. I have used an online checker that Smashword uses to validate my file. The error i get and this is what epub-checker generates is below.

ERROR: Faeries of Birchover Wood - Book 1 - The Bad, The - Ian S. Rutter.epub/SWTFoBWB1_split_025.html(61,60): element "img" not allowed here; expected the element end-tag or 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")

The error also prevents an upload to Apple iTunes.
I have checked my source code using CSS validation and HTML validation and the code is 100% error free and meets all standards.

I have posted this message here as I think it is to do with Calibre. I think that because as soon as I change my name in the Edit Meta tag of Calibre, the change appears in the error.
I am probably wrong but I hope someone has an idea of this error.
Kind regards
