How do I fix 'title element is empty' error?
Hi. Using Indesign I made an epub which has passed the validation checks.
After being sent to BookBaby (first time ive used them) they failed it's approval because of this error. Code:
EpubCheck Info Result:\Detail: WARNING: //cdbarx/content/books/20/BK00013520/original/BK00013520.epub/OEBPS/content.opf(6,17): title element is empty Using Sigil I looked in the content.opf file and saw this. <dc:title /> So I put an opening title tag at the front <dc:title>Book Name<dc:title /> and saved it. But when I do that the code splits on to the next line Code:
<dc:title>Book Name <dc:title /> Thanks! |

In Sigil, if you click "Tools - Metadata Editor" (or F8 on your keyboard), this will lead you to where you can add things like Title, Author, ISBN, Publication Date, etc.
It is not a good idea editing the content.opf manually unless you know exactly what you are doing. |
