Hello,

I am here to humbly ask the wisdom of this forum about the last validation error appearing in my .epub. Can anybody help?

THE CONTEXT
The book is a heavily (about 10K) internally hyperlinked dictionary, with lots of anchors and internal links.

THE ERROR (within Sigil)
OEBPS/Text/ N/A "This resource is reachable but not present in the OPF <manifest>. "Reachable" means that a reference of some kind that points to this resource exists in the epub."

THE ERRORS (with Epub validator)
Lots of errors unreported by Sigil, all of them of two types:
1) 'OEBPS/Text/': referenced resource missing in the package.
2) 'placeholderword': fragment identifier is not defined in 'OEBPS/Text/XXX html_split_001.html'

MY UNDERSTANDING
I guess that the Epub Validator errors are simply caused by the automatic segmentation of the epub file. My understanding is that these errors are reported whenever an internal link points to an anchor outside of the same segment

What worries me is the single Sigil error, because the <manifest> list seems to contain all the file references, and of course I cannot manually check 10K+ links without even a hint of where the error seems to be located.

MY QUESTIONS
a) Does anybody know how to pinpoint the code line causing the Sigil error?
b) Are the Epub Validator errors anything to worry about, and in case how can they be corrected?

Thank you in advance for your kind help... I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
