<language> and <title> element

daveconifer · 07-30-2014, 01:13 PM

The Sigil validator is complaining that content.opf is missing the <language> and <title> elements. Can anybody tell me what these look like and where they go?

Thank you in advance!

They are located in the <metadata> section of the content.opf file.

You can add metadata items, including the required "language" and "title" items, via the tools -> metadata editor menu option (usually assigned to hot-key F8).

Or, you can directly edit the content.opf file and "do it yourself." I would not recommend this approach until after you gain some experience, though.

HTH,

It worked! Thanks so much. I didn't know there was a metadata editor.
