ePub to PubIt! Errors
 I've tweaked the ePub in Sigil to where it looks perfect, but when I upload it to PubIt!, it's off. My understanding is that PubIt! uses ePub, so who is it changing at all? See the attached screenshots to how it looks in Sigil and how it looks in the PubIt! Nook preview. I put in this line: Code:
body, div, p, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 { margin: 0; padding: 0; }

Some readers have default margins or other properties that cannot be changed and that take preference over styles in the book. Try using a selector with a higher priority, such as:
Code:
body p {margin: 0; padding: 0; }

Thank you, Jellby; but that didn't work.
 It's still showing space between paragraphs. This is what I have now: Code:
body p { margin: 0; padding: 0; text-indent:50px; }
li p {margin: 0; padding: 0; text-indent: 0; }
div, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 { margin: 0; padding: 0; }

Can you please show us a snippet of the actual code? Without that, there's not a lot we can do to help.

Also added the h2, h3, etc., and the ol/ul. Strangely, Sigil seems to be changing the fonts back in-line the xhtml documents automatically. But that's another issue.

would it help to use the !important modifier, as in
Code:
body p { margin: 0 !important; padding: 0; text-indent:50px; }

The user style sheet that B&N uses, has a higher priority than any other CSS elements (and includes rules on the body element). So while eventually you may figure a way around this, you are only one update away from it not working the way you expect.
However, on any B&N reader if you want your styling to be used, then you need to go set 'Publisher Defaults' to 'On', which will disable the user style sheet, and get it to pay attention to your styling. |

... or try adding a class to every paragraph.
Because we don't know what the B&N stylesheet looks like, do we? |

The B&N stylesheet is programmatically generated (based upon user font selections among other things) and is subject to change at each release. Trying to work around that directly is likely to be an exercise in frustration.

This is the errors I received. I have no idea what they mean or how to fix them. I've read so many website help articles about extracting and replacing. This is enough to make you want to pull out your hair. Does anyone know anything about these in a simple way to explain it?
I would really appreciate any help I can get at the moment. Thanks Spoiler:

I think the messages are quite clear. You use vlink/link and clear directly in tags. That is not allowed.

They are clear? What are they I used vlink? What is that? I used nuclear format and took out everything except the first line indent. Where do links get in?

They are clear. As you provide no information about the source or how you got to the target, we can only work from the information you provided. If you have an ePUB and it reports those errors, they can be solved in the ePUB.
