Cover not showing

jimb949 · 05-14-2014, 01:00 PM

I added my cover to sigil but when I preview it on nook for web the cover is missing. Anyone know how to fix it? Below is my html code from sigil:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Cover</title>
</head>
<body>
<div style="text-align: center; padding: 0pt; margin: 0pt;">
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" height="100%" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid meet" version="1.1" viewBox="0 0 1500 2000" width="100%" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
<image width="1500" height="2000" xlink:href="../Images/novelist11-72dpi-1500x2000 (1).jpg"/>
</svg>
</div>
</body>
</html>

I'd try renaming the image to something without spaces in the file name.

Also don't forget to add the "proper semantics". Do right click over the cover image (in the "Image" folder of Sigil) and select the command "Add Semantics" > "Cover Image". Do the same with the cover.xhtml file (in the "Text" folder of Sigil).
