@blackest...The point that Hitch and many other people are making is that you are using the wrong app to create and test your epub files. Reasons? You are using an app editor(Brackets) that formats Web pages in HTML v5. A standard epub uses HTML v4.01. An epub also follows very specific formatting rules that are defined by the IDPF(epub standards committee).
As an example of errors introduced by using the Brackets app, I note that in the thumbnail of your Brackets app that you posted earlier(post #10) you have this namespace declared at the top of your html file in Brackets:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
Your xhtml namespace declaration in all files should look like this for a standard epub:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
Because of the above incorrect namespace declaration in your files(caused by the Brackets app), your epub wont fly when you run Epubcheck. And if it doesn't pass Epubcheck then your file will never upload to any ebook vendor due to these errors.
Have you tried checking your epub with the online
Epubcheck(IDPF validator) ?
I also suspect that if you do run Epubcheck on your epub then you will likely get many more errors as a result of using the Brackets app. And many of these errors will have been specifically caused because you are using the wrong app to format your epub. You should really be using Sigil which is an app that was specifically designed for editing/formatting epubs. And if you continue using the wrong tools(Brackets/Chrome) then it only remains for me to wish you good luck and a warm welcome to formatting hell.
