Thanks for the quick fix and the additional information!! I got my book to build an open in Stanza desktop. There are still a few validation errors from the on-line validator, bit I think I know how to fix most of them.
One that perplexes me is that I got an error about the expected mimetype. The mimetype file I place at the root of the package contains "application/epub+zip" and the validator tells me that my package has the wrong mimetype and it is expecting "application/epub+zip"... Is there something subtle that I'm missing? -----Original Message----- From: Keith Fahlgren [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, March 26, 2009 10:00 PM To: Bob Stayton Cc: Eric Johnson; [email protected] Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] Using ePub On Thu, Mar 26, 2009 at 3:39 PM, Bob Stayton <[email protected]> wrote: > Indeed, the xmlns errors indicate a problem in the stylesheet.

I'm surprised xsltproc never cared but the code was horribly casual with namespaces, and this has been resolved in SVN. Eric: You can either grab a new epub/docbook.xsl here http://docbook.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/docbook/trunk/xsl/epub/docbook.xsl or wait for one of the snapshot builds. Please let me know what I can do to help you get Ant going. I'm not an Ant user, but have a basic understanding of the three ePub specs.
