I'm using 0.9.9 Sigil. I got confused re-reading this post. (There were just too many details and it seemed contradictory information.) If somebody can please make this very
simple for me I'd really appreciate it. I just want to know what's the best way to do this for an ebook that is a novel (to go on Amazon).
I'm analyzing two ebooks. The first screenshot is of my last book, which I'll post here. Both books passed Epubchek with no issues. Flightcrew has issues with both. (And I'm not concerned about the first warning about the OPF not being reachable. That's just because the cover isn't there.)
This next one is the book I just formatted. Now this is just the default that Sigil provided. (I of course chose US english as the language in the metadata editor.)
So in the first screenshot I used
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en-us" xml:lang="en-US">
instead of
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
And I deleted
lang="en-US" dir="ltr"
from the <body> tag.
I can do either or something different. What's the best way to go? This is a simple ebook. No video or anything like that. A cover, some backmatter images and text.
If it matters, this is the way the plugins look. (I'm running xubuntu 18.04LTS.)
Thanks!
