Question EPUB & LULU -- Again with details
Hello,

I'm having trouble converting a HTML file into ePUB format for Lulu.com. I've been on the forum a bunch and found the epub-fix command line tool and have been using it on my output. Even still, lulu won't accept it.

I've been checking validation with threepress and have been able to fix a few errors by hand, but here are the final few I can't kill:

ERROR: 30 Days to a More Organized Life - C. G. P. Grey.epub/content.opf(8): attribute "file-as" from namespace "http://www.idpf.org/2007/opf" not allowed at this point; ignored

ERROR: 30 Days to a More Organized Life - C. G. P. Grey.epub/30-days-to-a-more-organized-life.org_split_000.html(2): attribute "lang" not allowed at this point; ignored

ERROR: 30 Days to a More Organized Life - C. G. P. Grey.epub/30-days-to-a-more-organized-life.org_split_001.html(2): attribute "lang" not allowed at this point; ignored

Check finished with warnings or errors!


If anyone can provide any help, it would be much appreciated.

remove the file-as and lang attributes from the opf and html files respectively using calibre's tweak epub feature.

Hi kovidgoyal,

First, let me say thanks for making this application and for all the support I see you giving people on the forums.

Here's what I'm trying to do:

After exploding the files I'm changing these lines in the relevant files:

<package xmlns="http://www.idpf.org/2007/opf" version="2.0" unique-identifier="uuid_id">
<metadata xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlnspf="http://www.idpf.org/2007/opf" xmlns:dcterms="http://purl.org/dc/terms/" xmlns:calibre="http://calibre.kovidgoyal.net/2009/metadata" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">

to

<package version="2.0" unique-identifier="uuid_id">
<metadata xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:dcterms="http://purl.org/dc/terms/" xmlns:calibre="http://calibre.kovidgoyal.net/2009/metadata" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">

and

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">

to

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">


So I'm trying to get rid of the errors lulu is complaning about. Then I run your epub-fix on the file. However, this just leads to more errors than before.

ERROR: 30 Days to a More Organized Life - C. G. P. Grey.epub/content.opf(2): element "package" not allowed in this context

Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks in advance

Your lulu specific errors i can't help you with you will have to ask lulu about them.

In your original post you said you had three errors. At that point take your epub file put it in calibre and use the twek calibre feature to:

1) edit the opf file, removing whatever file-as attribute it is complaining about

2) edit the two html files to remove the lang attributes

do not run anything else on the epub at this point.

Thanks again. I understand that you cannot help me with lulu specific problems.

I've gotten it down to just the one error which says "file-as" but I can't eliminate that last one. I've taken out all references to "file-as" in the file, but I just can't find the error.

This is the top bit of my file. Any ideas? No problem if you can't, I appreciate all your help.

dont see anything in that OPF file. It's weird that you'd get a file-as error if you have no file-as attributes in the OPF at all.

Well, thank you for your help. At least I now know I'm not missing anything obvious if you don't see it : )

Thanks again.

I do have a suggestion... give FlightCrew a go. It gives error messages in plainer English and once it says everyone is correct, ePubcheck also says it's fine.

Thanks JSWolf, I've just run flightcrew and it give this error for line 7:

The "opf:file-as" attribute is not an allowed attribute of the <title> element.

Which is the same as above. I been messing around with this part of my epub pasted below. I've bee trying to test it out my removing a line at a time and I either get the same error or a new error saying that whatever I took out is not missing.

Is this the same ePub that you posted in the ZIP file? If not, please post the entire ePub so someone can take a look.

That is the line with the error in the OPF file. This is line 7 in the OPF.

Code:
<dc:title opf:file-as="30-days-to-a-more-organized-life.org">30-days-to-a-more-organized-life.org</dc:title>

Here is the same line fixed.

Code:
<dc:title>30 Days to a More Organized Life</dc:title>
FlightCrew is now happy.

Hmmmm... now I'm going crazy. When I open the epub file in calibre, it does not have that file-as bit in the title, but when I save it out of calibre, flightdeck still gives me that same error.

I'm not trusting the export -- how do I crack this epub file open and look for myself on a mac?

Right click on it in calibre and select tweak epub.

How are you opening it? Calibre does not update the metadata in books stored in its own library.

Calibre does update when an EPUB is saved out.

rename the extension of .epub to .ziip and open with a zip program.
