I just downloaded the latest release (v5.2.1) and it passed the epub with only errors such as these: ERROR(RSC-005): main.epub/OEBPS/mainch1.html(44,61): Error while parsing file: value of attribute "id" is invalid; must be an XML name without colons I went back to your sample, and unmodified, ran the generated EPUB thru epubcheck, getting the same error (and checking the generated HTML, it's of the same sort): Error message: ERROR(RSC-005): sample.epub/OEBPS/samplech1.html(13,59): Error while parsing file: value of attribute "id" is invalid; must be an XML name without colons In generated HTML: <hr class='figure' /><div class='figure' id='-caption'> And by messing with the text, I can verify that it comes from the "Caption" on the figure in your sample. I don't know if this is problematic or not, but I figured I should report it. Again, thank you so much for your help! --chet--
