Hi ,
When exporting a Writer file to EPUB2 and checking the result with epubcheck-5.2.1/epubcheck.jar, errors are generated due to extra -title/- tags in each of the XHTML files. The first XHTML file always has three total instances of the -title/- tags, the first does not generate an error message, but both of the others will result in an error message.
Each of the remaining files will have two instances of the -title/- tags. Again, the first is accepted but the second results in an error message.
The -title- tags are always in the same locations when present, as shown in the error messages below
XHTML Source File
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><title/><meta content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" http-equiv="content-type"/><title/><meta content="Mattie Fern Worrix" name="author"/><title/><link href="../styles/stylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/></head><body class="body0"><p class="para0"><span class="span0">Teddi My Love</span></p><p class="para1"><span class="span1">An Evergreen, Oregon Teen Romance</span></p><p class="para1"> </p><p class="para1"><span class="span2">Mattie Fern Worrix</span></p></body></html>
Errors
ERROR(RSC-005): ./Documents/Maggie/MattieFernWorrix/MFW_OriginalBookshelf/TeddiMyLove/Content/202505092237/TeddiMyLove.epub/OEBPS/sections/section0001.xhtml(2,134): Error while parsing file: element “title” not allowed here; expected the element end-tag or element “base”, “link”, “meta”, “script” or “style”
ERROR(RSC-005): ./Documents/Maggie/MattieFernWorrix/MFW_OriginalBookshelf/TeddiMyLove/Content/202505092237/TeddiMyLove.epub/OEBPS/sections/section0001.xhtml(2,192): Error while parsing file: element “title” not allowed here; expected the element end-tag or element “base”, “link”, “meta”, “script” or “style”
I work around the problem by searching for and deleting the problem tags in each of the files.
Is there a failing on my part, or is this a problem in the export?
Thanks for your time.
