Hi,

My production editor and I are running into a problem editing and validating ebooks.

We work with an outside conversion company, and the files we receive are correct and validated. We have then been using Sigil to make small edits to the main text and notes.

But when the file is resaved, it no longer passes validation (CoreSource).

There appears to be an error saying that a referenced resource is missing in the package (the resource in question was OEBPS/Text/Notes-1.html). As far as we know, the changes we made in the WSIWYG editor mean that the Notes-1.html file is deleted, and references elsewhere to that file cause errors. Aside from making edits in html, is there anything we can do in the WSIWYG editor to ensure that deleting or editing an html file one place in the text also changes it elsewhere?

I'd be happy to provide more detail if needed.
