Problem detected on EPUB conversion with Calibre

[NunoMorais]

Hello,

I have converted a .docx text into EPUB using Calibre - the TOC was created manually. This EPUB is to be uploaded to Babelcube's site, using an on-line tool provided by Babelcube. However, errors are aparently detected and the EPUB cannot upload.

When using an on-line EPUB validator provided by IPDF, I got the following message:

Type: ERROR File: toc.ncx Line: 56 Position: 40 Message: Error while parsing file 'different playOrder values for navPoint/navTarget/pageTarget that refer to same target'.
Type: ERROR File: toc.ncx Line: 61 Position: 42 Message: Error while parsing file 'different playOrder values for navPoint/navTarget/pageTarget that refer to same target'.

I have no idea what this means or what to do. Calibre does not seem to see any errors in the EPUB document and the ebook opens without problem using its reader.

Can anyone help? Please? Thanks.

The NCX has been mutilated , probably by someone doing a hand edit.

Play order, is the invisible 'chain' of sections you get when reading. The chain is sequential, no duplicate 'play order' values

You might try fixing/rebuilding it using the TOC (icon) tool

That someone was me, unfortunately .

I had to "fix" everything by hand as Calibre did not recognise chapters in the book, though they were separated by section and page breaks. Obviously I made a mistake, or two, somewhere...

I imagine it might be when I tried to insert a line above the first chapter separation, as suggested by Calibre. This line includes the title and I then inserted the three existing chapters of the book into it.

Do you have any idea of how I may be able to do this?

Conversion applies to the Entire SOURCE. You are starting at the beginning each time.

For EDITS (small changes, stylesheet touchup), use the editor
I work mostly (99.99%) with Code view/CSS in the EDITOR, so my way would probably be different than yours.

I expect the CSS tags to be the same as the other pieces for the main body of the work.
I would just Paste the New CODE stuff (code view) where it belonged, split chapters, using the split tool, then use the TOC tool to update TOC as needed.
Others have their way
As long as the book works, it is not really the wrong way.

Page and section breaks have little or nothing to do with Chapters and tables of content.

If you style the Chapter Headings in Word as Headings then calibre will generate an equivalent TOC. My rule of thumb is: 'What I see in Word's View->Navigation Pane is what I will see in the EPUB's Table of Contents (toc.ncx)'.

I also got the warning

ERROR toc.ncx 15 43 Error while parsing file 'different playOrder values for navPoint/navTarget/pageTarget that refer to same target'.
ERROR toc.ncx 15 265 Error while parsing file 'different playOrder values for navPoint/navTarget/pageTarget that refer to same target'.

And here is part of the codes. I have no idea..how it can be fixed. Can anybody help me out?

<navPoint id="navPoint-1" playOrder="1"><navLabel><text>Shan Hai Legend Vol.1, [Part 1of2]</text></navLabel><content src="tmp_6411376b54da03b62e4b917cdf6cdb3c_UUR8zc.c h.fixed.fc.tidied.stylehacked.xfixed.html"/></navPoint><navPoint id="navPoint-2" playOrder="2"><navLabel><text>Midpoint</text></navLabel><content src="tmp_6411376b54da03b62e4b917cdf6cdb3c_UUR8zc.c h.fixed.fc.tidied.stylehacked.xfixed.html"/></navPoint></navMap>
