validating epub fails - how do I correct?

BeccaPrice · 06-12-2013, 10:39 AM

when I go to validate my epub (created with Scrivener, edited in Sigil) I get the following errors, and I have no idea what they mean or how to correct them. Help?

WARNING OEBPS/toc.ncx - - meta@dtb:uid content '3fab09d2-6f70-44d8-80c4-4ebfcca8d9ba' should conform to unique-identifier in content.opf: 'urn:uuid:3fab09d2-6f70-44d8-80c4-4ebfcca8d9ba'

ERROR OEBPS/toc.ncx 24 44 assertion failed: playOrder sequence has gaps

The first thing to do is remove /page-template.xpgt and any reference to it. You don't need it.

Post the headers of your toc.ncx and content.opf so we can have a look and see what needs to be done. The error means that the ID in the ncx and opf do not match.

BeccaPrice · 06-12-2013, 11:29 AM

Here's the content.opf

Spoiler:

Here's the TOC.ncx.

Spoiler:

JSWolf · 06-12-2013, 11:52 AM

Oh, one other error I forgot to mention. The ToC gaps is because the playorder in the ncx file has numerical gap(s). That requires renumbering.

Change <meta content="c22d9e01-0d3c-4009-82df-3287f82ac7eb" name="dtb:uid"/> (in ncx) to <meta content="urn:uuid:c22d9e01-0d3c-4009-82df-3287f82ac7eb" name="dtb:uid"/> Now the unique-identifiers are the same.

where would I find the reference? I removed the file, but "find" doesn't find any references to it in the html files.

ok, so I've made all these changes, and this is what I get when I try to validate:

changes made.

still getting this error:

btw, Jon, I really appreciate your being patient with me and helping me through this.

JSWolf · 06-12-2013, 12:42 PM

Please post your two ID lines from the OPF and the NCX. I want to double check if there is any error in there now.

BeccaPrice · 06-12-2013, 12:52 PM

toc.ncx:

Spoiler:

contents.opf

Spoiler:

This shows you how much I don't know what I'm doing - I wasn't at all sure what exactly you needed from these two files, so I gave you the whole things.

JSWolf · 06-12-2013, 12:53 PM

I just took the OPF and NCX of an eBook I'm fixing up and dropped in your eBook's ID and it validates.

OPF:

Spoiler:

NCX:

Spoiler:

JSWolf · 06-12-2013, 12:55 PM

Here's how to fix this in the NCX.

<meta content="urn:uuid:c22d9e01-0d3c-4009-82df-3287f82ac7eb" name="dtb:depth"/>

should be...

<meta content="urn:uuid:c22d9e01-0d3c-4009-82df-3287f82ac7eb" name="dtb:uid"/>

Somehow you've changed dtb:uid to dtb:depth and that's what is causing the error.

BeccaPrice · 06-12-2013, 01:13 PM

Hurray! now it validates!

can you help me with this one from another epub, now?

WARNING OEBPS/toc.ncx - - meta@dtb:uid content '648c1161-8638-4c6b-99e2-524e09ee80d1' should conform to unique-identifier in content.opf: 'urn:uuid:648c1161-8638-4c6b-99e2-524e09ee80d1'

toc.nix for that one:

Spoiler:

content.opf

Spoiler:

and how do I avoid this warning in other books where I need to modify the toc.ncx and contents files? I can't go running to you, Jon, every time I want to get a new book out.

JSWolf · 06-12-2013, 01:30 PM

This is from the the OPF.

<dc:identifier id="PrimaryID">urn:uuid:648c1161-8638-4c6b-99e2-524e09ee80d1</dc:identifier>

This is from the NCX

<meta content="648c1161-8638-4c6b-99e2-524e09ee80d1" name="dtb:uid"/>

I'll show you how to fix this...

Look at the line from the OPF. Copy all that stuff between >< (urn:uuid:648c1161-8638-4c6b-99e2-524e09ee80d1).

Look at the line from the NCX. Replace all that stuff between "" (648c1161-8638-4c6b-99e2-524e09ee80d1) with the stuff from the OPF (but keep the quotes) and it will be fixed.

You should be able to do that whenever you come up against this sort of error.

I'm hoping this isn't confusing.

BeccaPrice · 06-12-2013, 01:35 PM

qrugh - re-validated, got another warning.

trying to fix this one on my own. Let's see how much trouble I get into now!

btw, I've bookmarked this thread, to remind me of what I need to do when I edit the ncx and contents.opf files

ETA: Ha! I did it. Thanks to your expert advice, Jon, I now know how to handle at least these validation errors.

JSWolf · 06-12-2013, 02:01 PM

<dc:title>This is a test</dc:title>
<dc:language>en</dc:language>
These go in the header of the OPF.

Happy to help.

It’s how dragons sleep. It’s how dragons have always slept.” And he closed his eyes with a snap. Then he opened one eye cautiously. “What’s a bed?” Brave princesses, grumpy dragons, princes competing for a kingdom, and children seeking answers to age-old questions. These six modern fairy tales include stories for pleasant dreams, and stories for stirring thought. They are just the right length for bedtime reading. Each is a gem that will delight the entire family." Children have always delighted in fairy tales, tales of adventure and challenge in magical lands where dragons live and The Dark is a thing to be feared and explored. From the original Grimm's fairy tales through Andrew Lang's colorful fairy books to modern classics like Robert Munsch's The Paperbag Princess, there will always be a need for, and a place for, fairy tales. Dragons and Dreams continues on in this tradition, with silly, serious, and poetic stories.</dc:description> <dc:subject>Fairy Tales</dc:subject> <dcublisher>Wyrm Tale Press</dcublisher> <dc:rights>All rights reserved</dc:rights> <meta content="cover-image" name="cover" /> <meta content="0.5.906" name="Sigil version" /> <dc:date opf:event="modification">2013-06-12</dc:date> </metadata> <manifest> <item href="toc.ncx" id="ncx" media-type="application/x-dtbncx+xml" /> <item href="Text/cover.xhtml" id="cover" media-type="application/xhtml+xml" /> <item href="Text/contents.xhtml" id="contents" media-type="application/xhtml+xml" /> <item href="Text/body.xhtml" id="body" media-type="application/xhtml+xml" /> <item href="Text/body1.xhtml" id="body1" media-type="application/xhtml+xml" /> <item href="Text/body2.xhtml" id="body2" media-type="application/xhtml+xml" /> <item href="Text/body3.xhtml" id="body3" media-type="application/xhtml+xml" /> <item href="Text/body4.xhtml" id="body4" media-type="application/xhtml+xml" /> <item href="Text/body5.xhtml" id="body5" media-type="application/xhtml+xml" /> <item href="Text/body6.xhtml" id="body6" media-type="application/xhtml+xml" /> <item href="Text/body7.xhtml" id="body7" media-type="application/xhtml+xml" /> <item href="Text/body8.xhtml" id="body8" media-type="application/xhtml+xml" /> <item href="Images/cover.jpg" id="cover-image" media-type="image/jpeg" /> <item href="Styles/stylesheet.css" id="stylesheet000-css" media-type="text/css" /> </manifest> <spine toc="ncx"> <itemref idref="cover" linear="yes" /> <itemref idref="contents" linear="yes" /> <itemref idref="body" linear="yes" /> <itemref idref="body1" linear="yes" /> <itemref idref="body2" linear="yes" /> <itemref idref="body3" linear="yes" /> <itemref idref="body4" linear="yes" /> <itemref idref="body5" linear="yes" /> <itemref idref="body6" linear="yes" /> <itemref idref="body7" linear="yes" /> <itemref idref="body8" linear="yes" /> </spine> <guide> <reference href="Text/cover.xhtml" title="Cover" type="cover" /> <reference href="Text/contents.xhtml" title="Contents" type="toc" /> </guide> </package> and how do I avoid this warning in other books where I need to modify the toc.ncx and contents files? I can't go running to you, Jon, every time I want to get a new book out. Last edited by BeccaPrice; 06-12-2013 at 01:15 PM.

Look at the line from the OPF. Copy all that stuff between >< (urn:uuid:648c1161-8638-4c6b-99e2-524e09ee80d1). Look at the line from the NCX. Replace all that stuff between "" (648c1161-8638-4c6b-99e2-524e09ee80d1) with the stuff from the OPF (but keep the quotes) and it will be fixed. You should be able to do that whenever you come up against this sort of error. I'm hoping this isn't confusing.
