Is this output from Scrivener? It is awful! Isn't there a possibility to export to ePUB with an external stylesheet? This is unmaintainable.

There are multiple things wrong with this file. It is generated by Cocoa HTML Writer it seems, but XHTML is not the same as HTML. There are differences and that is what is causing the errors here. There are issues with the meta tags and also in the text with things like <br> instead of <br />. In XHTML all tags must be closed, either with an end tag or auto close for tags that do not have an end tag, like br, img, hr and others.

What is your exact work procedure, because this is not a valid ePUB in any way.
