HTML Help, epub check not recognizing tags.

Errors say it doesn't have closing <h1> tag. It's there, and it's driving me bananas. Help ASAP please.

Your line breaks are coded incorrectly. They should be <br/> not </br>. That may be part of the problem.

I bet that's it, the error isn't saying your closing </h1> is missing, it thinks you're trying to close <h1> with </br> (sic). *Wrong* closing tag, not *missing* closing tag.

By the way, that's a very unusual way of using <h1>, OP--is this purely for aesthetics?

That's a rather odd way to code and not just the <h1>

Agreed and I can't fathom why h1 would be used that way.

Sadly (ha!) it reminds me of the way someone I know (looks guiltily in mirror) used to use h1, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back (in the aughts), before Cap (Capidamonte) lurned me better. :-)

Depending on how I wanted the text to look I would use either <div> or <blockquote>.

It sorta looks as though perhaps he intended it to be a preview of the upcoming chapter, on a Part page, or the like.

Given the function of headings, I would concur with you, Jon (Wolfie for the new guy), that this would be better served with a div or blockquote. Using headings will lead to problems, either in structure or in accessibility. (And if he decides to use a TOC/NCX/Navmap building functionality, which in turn uses headings...woe is me!)
