Hi,

I have to agree with DiapDealer here. Failure to validate is NOT a bug. Sigil is a tool to help you convert your material to epub format, and to allow you to validate it if you so desire and make whatever changes you may need. Many ebooks do not validate. Nor should they have to if they work on the intended device. This is exactly the philosophy used by Kovid and Calibre as well.

If you do not know even basic (x)html, Sigil is probably not the tool you will want to use.
And any validation output will be hard for you to understand. There may be better tools for you to use. Toxaris's word to epub tools may be more appropriate or saving as an epub with Pages if you work on a Mac.

Hope this helps,

KevinH
