Namespace prefix epub for type on a is not defined...

Llaird · 01-19-2017, 09:35 AM

Hi,

I try to put footnotes in a book...

Code:

  <p>—Jacob Brown<sup><a epub:type="noteref" id="footnoteP1" href="#footnoteRefP1">1</a></sup></p>

the referenced footnote at the end of the same .xhmtl file

Code:

 <li id="bookmarkP1"  epub:type="footnote">
  <p><a href="main-1a.xhtml#bookmarkRefP1" class="reversefootnote" hidden="hidden">↩</a> Adams, <cite>The War of 1812</cite>, p. 256.</p>
  </li>
</ol>

The epub checker shows "ERROR: Parsing failed: Namespace prefix epub for type on a is not defined..." All documentation I found on the web exactly use this pattern to put in footnotes. I'm not sure how to solve the issues. Please help.

Thx

Thomas

You need to add the epub namespace declaration to the <html> tag. Like this

<html xmlns:epub="http://www.idpf.org/2007/ops">
