Epub error

[libre75]

Hi everyone, the validation of an epub made with sigil mi gives this error:

Error while parsing file: element "li" not allowed here; expected the element end-tag, text or element "a", "abbr", "acronym", "address", "applet", "b", "bdo", "big", "blockquote", "br", "cite", "code", "del", "dfn", "div", "dl", "em", "h1", "h2", "h3", "h4", "h5", "h6", "hr", "i", "iframe", "img", "ins", "kbd", "map", "noscript", "ns:svg", "object", "ol", "p", "pre", "q", "samp", "script", "small", "span", "strong", "sub", "sup", "table", "tt", "ul" or "var" (with xmlns:ns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg")

the problem that does not tell me the exact point, can someone help me?
Thank you

Is this the flightcrew plugin or the epubcheck plugin. Both should open the validation window and by clicking on the error should take you to the correct file and line in CodeView.

Take the problem chapter and paste the HTML into W3C's Markup Validation. It should give you a better location of the exact error.

Most likely you have a stray:

<li>Example</li>

floating around, but forgot to put it inside of a <ul> or <ol>:

<ul>
<li>Example</li>
</ul>

In the code above, double-clicking the error in Flight Crew usually jumps you to the ending </body> tag... not to the exact location the actual broken tag started.

I would guess you are trying to start a new BLOCK without closing out the previous one.
or you forgot to declare a list type
eg <ul>
befor using a <li>

Yes for a broken tag pair (without a matching end tag) flightcrew will not detect that the end is missing until the enclosing block ends. In many cases, this will be the closing body tag. If so, and it is a missing tag pair, even Sigil's own built-in sanity check will detect it and give you the starting and ending line numbers.

Thanks to everyone, the problem is that epubcecher that doesn't indigend me the line of code of the problem

[KevinH]

But which one and how are you using it?

You need to install the epubcheck plugin and no use the online checker.

now I have used epubchecker and I have solved the problem because it showed me the exact lines

I do think epubcheck should come standard with Sigil and Calibre because it can make it easier to find where the errors are so they can be corrected.

Nope. Not happening. I've got enough time wrapped up in distributing Sigil, I'm not taking on the added duties of being responsible for distributing someone else's software, too. The third-party plugin available will have to suffice.
