I'll check again but i think it was there before.
Firstly, as DoctorOhh commented, I meant "no errors" not "now errors".

I don't think you understood what I did. Here are the steps:

- Open the editor
- Selected "Create new, empty book" from the file menu
- Put in a title and pressed the "EPUB" button.
- When prompted I entered the file name and pressed OK
- Then I selected "New file" from the file menu
- When prompted, I entered a file name with the extension "XHTML" and pressed OK.

The above generated as skeleton epub with two files in it. The XHTML file I added had the code needed to start the file. When I ran check in this, I had no errors. While writing this up, I repeated the above but used the extension "HTML". Again, I didn't have any errors after that.

From your description, I don't think you did what I did. What did you do? Did you add an existing HTML file from your disk? If so, the chances of an error when you check that is fairly high.
