epub errors

ebookscovers · 11-16-2020, 05:39 PM

Hi there. I need help with passing my epub. i have put it through the epub check and it comes up with 2 errors both related. I will attach screen shots of the errors and also the area in the file it refers to. I know its something very simple but can get my head around it. frustrating. how do I resolve it/?? help. David

My best guess is that you've got one too many closing tags in there. If so, it's not necessarily a closing </navmap>, but it could be. Could also be practically any other tag, with the warning referring to a mismatch.

Otherwise it could be that you've got two opening <navmap>s, but that seems harder to do unintentionally.

There are probably more elegant ways to do this, and I did not think about it long enough to be sure it would even work (giving myself an out here!) but you might try searching for ">" within the file, and also "</". If the former doesn't return double the results of the latter, it might set you down the right path.

Perhaps the two </navpoint> entries immediately prior to the </navmap> in your second image might be causing your problem?

How was your toc.ncx produced? If it was generated by software then could you delete it and regenerate it? If your table of contents is entirely from h? tags you could open the epub in Sigil and use its table of contents generator.
