 it seems to ignore some errors, but offers to fix filenames and IDs that may or may not be an issue. So I always run it first and then this one at the start of an edit session and after each major session. I also see what the TOC editor/tool has as there may be items missing or broken. I might sometimes also use the Fonts tool. I run the remove excess/duplicate CSS tool after editing 3rd party ebooks. Some may have 100s of unused items or many become duplicates or unused after "fixing" formatting. I never have an issue on Amazon KDP, Google Playstore Books or Smashwords (who feed Apple, Kobo, Barnes&Noble etc) after a "no errors" on this tool after doing all the other stuff. So much appreciated. | |

 One thing I have found that works well is that calibre's check does do a more extensive check on the CSS then epubcheck. | |

 The problem is resolved. In a surprise to likely nobody in this thread (except me, because I didn't read through it enough), my Java path was messed up. Installing java update didn't set the path correctly and that coincided roughly with the time I updated to Calibre 7.11. Manually set the path in EpubCheck.json and works like a charm now. Thank you! | |

 OTOH, I use calibre's editor for consolidating duplicate stylesheet entries, etc. Both Sigil and calibre's editor do things the other doesn't and so I use both. Getting back to the EpubCheck plugin, I have found too damn often that installing an update, breaks the link to the java executable. Last edited by DNSB; 06-22-2024 at 04:34 PM. | |

				Problem with Java 8 update 421
			 
			
			On a windows 11 system (build: 22631.3880), I had Java 8 u411 runtime environment installed. I deinstalled it, then installed Java 8 u421.  Now, I get the following error message, when I run the epubcheck plugin (version 0.2.5) in the Calibre editor (the same error message in the Sigil Editor version 2.2.1 with the plugin): Spoiler: 
 14) Using the older java 8 u411 version did NOT give this error. What can I do to correct this eror? Do I need to change some parameters or....? Thank you for any information, Capricorn Last edited by theducks; 07-22-2024 at 03:10 PM. Reason: SPOILER LOG files |

			Arghhh......  Should have realised that.....got bitten by that one before. Apparently a bug in my brain.  Installed the 64-bit version and everything runs properly again. Thank you very much for the pointer to 32-bit/64-bit.   |

			And the 32 bit Win 10 was only on a few computers / tablets with too little RAM (crippled Atom cpus that couldn't take more) and was discontinued ages ago. Last Linux Mint 32 bit was 19.3 and it's at 21.3 now. Calibre last 32 bit was maybe 5.44, due to QT dropping 32 bit support? In reality 32 bits with 2 G RAM is plenty, but developers, frameworks and OSes are not supporting it. Nor are screens less than 1920 x 1080 well supported. |

			When I ran EpubCheck earlier today, a message popped up stating that v5.2.6 was available and to upgrade. I dismissed the notice as I was in the process of working on a file, but now I can't seem to get that message back, nor is there an update in the first post of this thread. Does anybody know where I can download the update? |
