epub error

libre75 · 10-14-2019, 09:13 AM

Hi guys, I ask for help on the following errors of the validator, one concerns the div tag that says it is not allowed but I don't understand, how can a dv tag not be allowed?

The other regards the tbody tag, it says it is missing in the table, but there is no table!

Here are the errors:

OEBPS/Text/Capitolo5.html(34,105): Error while parsing file 'element 'div' not allowed here; expected the element end-tag, text or element 'a', 'abbr', 'acronym', 'applet', 'b', 'bdo', 'big', 'br', 'cite', 'code', 'del', 'dfn', 'em', 'i', 'iframe', 'img', 'ins', 'kbd', 'map', 'noscript', 'ns:svg', 'object', 'q', 'samp', 'script', 'small', 'span', 'strong', 'sub', 'sup', 'tt' or 'var' (with xmlns:ns='http:/www.w3.org/2000/svg')'.

OEBPS/Text/Conservazione_alimenti.html(31,9): Error while parsing file 'element 'table' incomplete; missing required element 'tbody''.

Do you by chance have a div inside of a para tag or something similar?

I would also try a search for: "<table" to see if there is one hidden somewhere.

Perhaps you could post a screenshot or a sample of the problem area we would be able to give more precise answers.

It doesn't say that a div tag is not allowed. It says a div tag is not allowed HERE.

Without seeing the html in question at those particular areas. No one can really help much.

The not here makes me think: out of balance. (BTDT

)
The closing tag is on the wrong side of another Block level tag
eg
Div - P ... /Div- /P

Hi everyone, sorry for the delay and thanks in advance, below the lines of code!

35 <span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16pt;">Cocktail: da elencare in ordine alfabetico e per ordine d'effetto in base agli ingr</span><span style="font-size: 16pt;">e</span><span style="font-size: 16pt;">dienti che lo compongono ad esempio: aperitivi - digestivi.</span></div></span><p></p>

105 <p style="font-size:16pt; line-height:115%; text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', serif; font-size:16pt; font-style:italic">LONG DRINK</span></p>

9 <link href="../Styles/styles.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet"/>

31 </table>

<p></p>

105 <p style="font-size:16pt; line-height:115%; text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', serif; font-size:16pt; font-style:italic">LONG DRINK</span></p>

9 <link href="../Styles/styles.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet"/>

31 </table>

What a mess.

Pretty print (Mend and Prettify) helps see nesting issues
35 has a naked Span, (outside the Div, While not a problem all those style= 16pt; are just needless cruft), last is the weird <p> </p> at the end

105 I am betting there is something about the 'Times New Roman' single quotes
9 ??? The order of rel and type? eg <link href="../Styles/template.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>

31 is closing a Table What table A Table is a set of tags in a pattern. That say the pattern is broken in between the <Table> and when it closes

You cannot have a DIV inside a SPAN.

This thread belongs in the ePub forum as it has nothing to do with Sigil and everything to do with ePub.

jhowell · 10-23-2019, 08:29 AM

There is nothing wrong on lines 105 and 9.

In the error messages "(34,105)" means character 105 of line 35 referring to the <div> inside of the <span>.

"(31,9)" means character 9 of line 31 referring to the end of the table being reached without encountering the table body.

There's always a bit of overlap. I'm not that motivated to move it since the question has basically been answered.

But if it was in the ePub forum and someone had a similar problem and went looking in the ePub forum, it would be thereto find.

Please let it go, Jon. There's enough threads in the epub forum about epubcheck xhtml errors that no one's going to be deprived. It's not like this is a new error or anything.

Hi everyone, I solved, as far as the div is concerned, I simply copied the text in question into an empty text sheet to remove the formatting, then I pasted it into sigil and applied the desired font and size.

For the table I deleted the table and I made a nice screeshot jpg of the table and I inserted it in the ebook, simple way but it works!
