I have created a multimedia epub 3.0 ebook intended for upload to ibooks. The ebook is large (63.8mb) due to the audio/video and hundreds of images. Also there is a large index at the end with links to the ebook text containing over 1,300 internal hyperlinks in the index.

I have only one epubcheck validation error, but it is driving me insane. The error message is: ERROR: mybookname v36CC.epub/OEBPS/mybookname-multimedia-v36CC-50.xhtml(30,228): report: The a element must not appear inside a elements.

I have gone through this code dozens of times and cannot find where i have overlapping elements. I attached a txt file with the code, in hopes someone can help. Thanks!
