Sigil creating empty guide element
I have just checked one of my recently Sigil created ebooks with the new epubcheck 4.1.1 and I get the error of incomplete guide element.

The latest InDesign (which I use to create ebooks) doesn't create guide element in my ebook but when I open the EPUB file with the latest Sigil, it creates the empty guide element.

I checked from the OPF spec and it states
Quote:
Within the package there may be one guide element, containing one or more reference elements.
Would it be possible for Sigil to stop creating empty guide elements since it's useless and now the latest epubcheck is also complaining about it. That would save a lot of trouble.
