epub file does not pass validation check

Unread post by felser »

I have a manual with H&M5 and publish it as HTML and pdf successfully.

Now I try to distribute it also as a epub file. The publisher requires that the file passes the validation at http://threepress.org/document/epub-validate
and the epub file generated with H&M5 fails with more than 350 errors! Bad values for attributed "id", "idref", bgcolors on the wrong place etc. etc.

That the referenced files are not included I understand and can be fixed by me. But what to do with the other errors? Can you fix the file generator that it produces only valid code?

best regards
Max Felser

Hi Max,

Please mail the project and the validation link to support AT ec-software.com (replace the AT with @) and we will look into it right away. Please send the project as a single-file hmxz -- use Save As... in the Application Menu (big button in the top left corner of the HM window) to make an HMXZ copy if you are working in HMXP.
Regards,
Tim (EC Software Documentation & User Support)
