E-Book failing e-pub check

[danielbullen]

I am trying to get an e-book published through Smashwords and it keep failing. I am getting closer to publishing an e-book on there. I have made it an epub file and used EPUB Validator. Here are the results I got below:

If your filenames must have spaces in them, wrap them in quotes so if your filename is This is a filename, you need to use "This is a filename". Otherwise remove the spaces (i.e. ThisisaFilename). As for the clear attributes, delete them. Search for clear= and remove the clear= and whatever is in quotes after the = sign, (e.g. clear="all", clear="both", etc.). See an example below:

<br clear="all" class="calibre6" id="calibre_pb_7"/>

<br class="calibre6" id="calibre_pb_7"/>

And two items to remember: Google is your best buddy and wrap long bits of logs, etc. in spoiler tags (select the text and click on icon of an eye with a X between the YouTube and Maps icons.

Thanks for that. I've changed the name of the file to make it all one word like you suggested. However, I don't know how to use the code given. The code is here:

<br clear="all" class="calibre6" id="calibre_pb_7"/>

<br class="calibre6" id="calibre_pb_7"/>

I'm not sure what to do with these pieces of code or where to use them.

Regards,

Daniel

The first br is an example with an incorrect clear attribute, the second line is how it looks after it's been fixed.

These were two examples for a search and replace with the first line being the before and the second the after. You could search for 'clear="all" ' and replace it with nothing. Use a search for clear= to see what variants are in use. I've attached an image of the search/replace as seen with Sigil.
