Error schema not satisfied: no declaration found for element

[jafprrr]

Hi all,

When I run FlightCrew, I receive the following error:

Error schema not satisfied: no declaration found for element 'section'

I am trying to do an ordered list that has a break in the middle, which has proved more complicated than I would like. After a lot of searching, I found this apparent solution:

CSS
section {
counter-increment: section;
}

section p:before {
content: counter(section) '. ';
}

HTML
<section>
<ul style="list-style-type: none;">
<li><p class="normal">First point blah blah blah</p></li>
</ul>
</section>

<section>
<ul style="list-style-type: none;">
<li><p class="normal">Second point blah blah blah</p></li>
</ul>
</section>

<section>
<ul style="list-style-type: none;">
<li><p class="normal">Third point blah blah blah</p></li>
</ul>
</section>

<section>
<ul style="list-style-type: none;">
<li><p class="normal">Fourth point blah blah blah</p></li>
</ul>
</section>

<p class="normal">This is the text between the fourth and fifth points</p>

<ul style="list-style-type: none;">
<li><section>
<p class="normal">Fifth point blah blah blah</p>
</section></li>
</ul>

Sigil gets what I'm trying to do, but FlightCrew doesn't like it.

It also gave me this error:

Error schema not satisfied: element 'section' is not allowed for content model
Not sure if this is <p> or <ul>.

Okay, so what is a solution that will work?

I think Flightcrew is only for epub 2, and the <section> tag is only for epub 3...but I haven't dug in too deep on epub3 spec yet. That's where I would start looking.

Also, the example you gave is just an unordered list with the list-style removed. If that is what you want, you could also just create a paragraph style that mimics this. Of course you need to enter the number yourself.
It will depend on your target. The <section> will only work in ePUB3, but good support for ePUB3 is scarce. There are some reading applications for Android and IOS, but good ones are hard. There are no ePUB3 e-ink readers AFAIK.

Thank you.

The reason I did the unordered list with the list-style removed was to get the list-style format.

Does anybody know the specific paragraph style for lists in ePubs? Or do I just try and get as close as I can?

<ul class="nostyle">
  <li>First point blah blah blah</li>
  <li>Second point blah blah blah</li>
  <li>Third point blah blah blah</li>
  <li>Fourth point blah blah blah</li>
</ul>

with this in the CSS
ul.nostyle {list-style-type: none}

and you can add any other kind of styling you want in the CSS section - bold/italics, margins, spacing, etc.
