RE: [docbook-apps] Converting Docbook epub to Kindle shows warnings
This sounds like a bizarre problem I had a few months ago. I tracked it down to my toc.ncx not matching up with toc.html, or something like that. Your issue
 may be different, but it’s an idea.

I have also seen those messages and don't understand what they mean.  When I check the XHTML file in Oxygen, it reports that it is well-formed and valid, so there are no missing
 tags that need to be "Forcefully closed". 

 

Your output appears to be from the epub stylesheet.  You might try the epub3 stylesheet in version 1.77.1 of the stylesheets.  It does not use <dl> for the TOC, so kindlegen
 does not report those <dl> errors.  However, kindlegen still Forcefully closes the valid <nav epub:type="loi"> and <nav:epub:lot> elements in the TOC file.

Hello,

I'm using Apache Ant to create an epub with the XSL stylesheets. This

works fine.

During the conversion to .mobi via the Amazon command line tool

kindlegen I get several warnings which may indicate that the generated

epub has some issues. See below for the error messages. I attached the

file in question. I noted that in the Kindle version several TOC

entries are in the same line: I think this might be the reason for

this.

Has anyone seen such issues and know how to solve them?

Best regards, Lars
