PROBLEM VALIDATION APPLE IBOOKSTORE
Hi everybody,
Please i really need your help, I have created an epub with sigil and the book works great in my Ipad. Sigil validates the book (no errors) but when i submit it to the Applestore the validation process founds some errors in the book : ERROR ITMS-9000: "OEBPS/Text/Section0001.xhtml(6): element "head" incomplete; missing required element "title". This error occurs 6 times." at Book (MZItmspBookPackage) ERROR ITMS-9000: "OEBPS/Text/Section0003.xhtml(16): element "blockquote" incomplete; expected element "address", "blockquote", "del", "div", "dl", "h1", "h2", "h3", "h4", "h5", "h6", "hr", "ins", "noscript", "ns:svg", "ol", "p", "pre", "script", "table" or "ul" (with xmlns:ns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"). This error occurs 2 times." at Book (MZItmspBookPackage) Itunesproducer (the apple tool to submit ebooks) proposes to repair the e-pub i submit but i don't know if it repairs it correctly. I prefer to do it myself. Thank you very much for your help, Ibn |

The first one is simple. You miss the <title></title> in your files. It does not do anything, but it must be there.
The second can be various. I think you are misusing the blockquote. If you can post the lines 13 to 19 we should be able to tell you more. |

Thank you very much Toxaris, i managed to solve the first title error with your help.
For the blockquote error you'll find below the lines of the section0003 in my epub. I replace the copyrighted text by "TEXT" or TEXT : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <link href="../Styles/stylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <title>Epigraphes</title> <style type="text/css"> /*<![CDATA[*/ @page { margin-bottom: 5.000000pt; margin-top: 5.000000pt; } /*]]>*/ </style> </head> <body class="calibre"> <p class="sgc">« TEXT »</p> <p class="sgc">TEXT</p> <blockquote class="sgc1"> <p class="sgc2"><br class="calibre2" /></p> </blockquote> <blockquote class="sgc1"></blockquote> <blockquote class="sgc1"></blockquote> <div class="calibre4"> <span class="calibre5">« TEXT »<br class="calibre2" /></span> </div> <blockquote class="sgc1"> <div class="calibre6"> <span class="calibre5">TEXT</span> </div> </blockquote> </body> </html> Many thanks, Ibn |

If I remember correctly, a blockquotes is not allowed to contain <p></p> tags.

Actually, for XHTML, the contents of blockquotes are supposed to be wrapped in other block elements (p, div, h, ul, ol, dl, etc..), but I have no idea about the ePub or iBooks specifications.

Code:

Is that an iBooks thing Jon? I only ask because:
Code:
<blockquote class="sgc1"> <div class="calibre6"> <span class="calibre5">TEXT</span> </div> </blockquote> |

The div is the only thing I can see that could maybe cause a problem. Besides, can't hurt to try converting it into a p and see if it fixes things.
Well, maybe the BR is an issue. Dunno for sure. |

Well that was easy enough. Really no sense in having empty blockquotes anyway.
