From what I've seen as I've browsed through here, the IDPF validator is considered pretty laughable (at best). However, I do want to get my epub 3 to pass this check (I believe it's version 4.something). These are probably the most troublesome things:
1) When I get the last problem resolved and run the validator one more time to be sure, I get a whole new batch of errors. As in, completely different from the first set.
2) The line/column indicators are sometimes way off. It will say it's an OEBP error, for example, then reference a line that's a couple of chapters into the story (yep, fiction novel).
I'm hoping someone with more epub experience than I have can tell me if these errors are normal? Is there a way to overcome them? Someone I should tell about them so they can be fixed?
Thanks in advance...
