You have many lists (<ol>) with the "start" attribute (<ol start="...">), which is not allowed. Remove the attribute and it should validate.

Epub Validation Error
It was a word document for smashword.com. I also now just did a search on google and found a suggested solution of removing all numbers from lists in the document in word. Is this a viable solution

How would I know, but it is worth a try. The root problem is: you can easily fix the epub, but you can't re-submit the epub to smashwords. So you have to figure out what change in your Word document will produce a correct epub, and resubmit that. Sometimes that process is... opaque.

Thanks everybody. Removing the numbers from the list worked. I hope this helps somebody else too.

I seem to have similar problem. I used msWord document to feed through smashword's meatgrinder. Here is my dilemma. Nine of my 12 guides pass the epub test. One of them I fixed yesterday only. Below are the error messages that I get with other 3 guides. Any idea what do these mean! I will appreciate any clue on how to find these errors or to know what these mean. 1. <<ERROR: the-power-of-breathing.epub: The file tmp_56e5d5dbe37ad7496a77581a2e5789e3_VW6W9h_html_m 5b32798a.png does not appear to be of type image/png>> 2. <<ERROR: art-of-stress-free-living-eastern-and-western-approach.epub/tmp_90dd12c32a5b750b5645fd483b9830eb_aTzujH.ch.fix ed.fc.tidied.stylehacked.xfixed_split_011.html(38) : attribute "width" not allowed here; expected attribute "abbr", "align", "axis", "char", "charoff", "class", "colspan", "dir", "headers", "id", "rowspan", "scope", "style", "title", "valign" or "xml:lang" >> 3. << ERROR: HHL-epub.epub/tmp_6c6543aa0c591fd11631fa8ca3bcaedb_G67JJi.ch.fix ed.fc.tidied.stylehacked.xfixed_split_014.html(207 ): attribute "height" not allowed here; expected attribute "abbr", "align", "axis", "char", "charoff", "class", "colspan", "dir", "headers", "id", "rowspan", "scope", "style", "title", "valign" or "xml:lang" Thanks in advance for your help. |

Ad 1. One of the images thinks it is a png, but it is not. Try to find out which picture it is and reinsert it.
Ad 2. You have table in your word document, with some specific width settings. Set it to auto-width, that will probably solve it. Ad 3. See 2. Tables will not always render correctly on a device. Simple tables can/will, but soon you will have issues. The meatgrinder procedure of Smashwords is really bad. I can't believe the amount of errors that it produces. Smashwords really must allow ePUB's to be uploaded instead or additionally to Word documents. |

Thanks Toxaris. The funny thing is I have uploaded each picture/image as jpeg file again. But it still shows the same error message:
<<ERROR: the-power-of-breathing.epub: The file tmp_515c9b2d4bfeaa90944df09430a16bdb_DY4fiR_html_m 5b32798a.png does not appear to be of type image/png >> I use jpeg images for tables because smashwords don't allow tables. So there are no tables as such. But I appreciate your hint and will work on Ad 2 and 3. Thanks for all your help. |
