Validation difficulties

[Claire3001]

Hi,

I'm just finishing off my first ePub on Sigil and have run it through the validation check on Sigil. I've managed to change some of the errors that emerged, but I'm struggling to decipher what's wrong with a few more:

- OEBPS/Text/www.albergocappello.it - This resource is reachable but not present in the OPF <manifest>. "Reachable" means that a reference of some kind that points to this resource exists in the epub.

Does this mean that the email address isn't linked properly?


- element 'svg' is not allowed for content model '(p|h1|h2|h3|h4|h5|h6|div|ul|ol|dl|pre|hr|blockquo te|address|fieldset|table|switch|form|noscript|ins |del|script)'



- This <content> element's "src" attribute value is "Text/introduction.htm#sigil_toc_id_3", but an element with an ID the fragment is referring to does not exist in that file.


If anyone can give me any help on how to solve these problems I'd be really grateful!

Try writing "http://www.albergocappello.it" instead

- element 'svg' is not allowed for content model '(p|h1|h2|h3|h4|h5|h6|div|ul|ol|dl|pre|hr|blockquo te|address|fieldset|table|switch|form|noscript|ins |del|script)'

Wrap the <svg> in a <div>.

- This <content> element's "src" attribute value is "Text/introduction.htm#sigil_toc_id_3", but an element with an ID the fragment is referring to does not exist in that file.

There is no element with id="sigil_toc_id_3" in Text/introduction.htm. Maybe the id is in another file (in which case you should fix the link), or maybe the id is missing, in which case you should add it.

The link is not properly formed for a URL and thinks it points to a local (missing) file in text Text folder.

Wrap the SVG in a <div>. If you had use Tools: Add cover (it will replace the existing file. Caution: The file marked as Cover should only be a cover or the rest of the file will be lost)), this would have been included


You changed the file after the TOC was created. Regenerate the TOC or carefully edit the OPF

Thank you so much for all your help - really, really helpful.

My ePub is still failing ePub check (even though it passes on the PreFlightChecker application on Sigil). THe guys tell me this for why it is failing:

ERROR: 9780957575936.epub/OEBPS/toc.ncx(48,51): assertion failed: different playOrder values for navPoint/navTarget/pageTarget that refer to same target

I understand that this means a couple of bits of code in my TOC are referring to the same 'target', but how can I locate this code? Does (48, 51) mean the lines of code, and if so, why do they give two numbers?

Thank you for any help, really appreciated.

Probably line then position in line.

You can always reorder the playorder by right-clicking on the ncx.

I don't think that'll help. It's not the PlayOrder numbers that are the problem. It seems the problem is that two different entries/playorders point to the same target/source.

I'd find the src attribute on line 48 (or the src of the 'text' entry that belongs to whatever the line 48 entry is) and then search for its duplicate in the rest of the toc.ncx.

Thanks for the help!

Yes in fact I found that there were two entries with the same target in the contents list. It's sorted now and the ePub has passed the check. On to the next one!
