I’m sorry for my english. If someone confirm problem create proper bug report, pleas.

Hmm… please try to change your post:

  1. If that’s a question that other users might know how to answer (the only appropriate content on this site), please ask that question clearly.
  2. If you are reporting a bug, then please do it properly, understanding this site’s rules clearly telling that bug reports are off-topic here. Make sure you provide enough information how to reproduce the problem (current text does not allow e.g. me to understand what do I need to click and in which order to see it).

In any case, make sure to describe clearly why the external link is provided, in case it’s not a spam message.

Sigh. So - what is the question that other users could answer here then? (And note that ‘Link to test file “EPUB validator”’ leads to a site, not to some file - why is it here?)

Upload EPUB disabled|rejected

It seems obvious to me that the Validator (beta) is saying a defined direction is not a valid EPUB file.

Yes, I remove parameter “direction” and uploading finished successfully.

If this helps then please tick the answer (:heavy_check_mark:) …and/or show you like it with an uptick (∧)

Still experiencing this issue in October 2024. LibreOffice v24.8.2.1.

Libre office offers export to epub. But there is an inherent problem. How can we disable the direction ltr in the program to avoid the error in epub validator?
