EPUBCheck finds errors with footnotes

Tobias · Yesterday, 06:33 PM

EPUBCheck from W3C is throwing a lot of errors on a converted .docx to epub 2 file:

Referring to a footnote:

Code:

<a role="doc-noteref"

Code:

ERROR(RSC-005): book.epub/index_split_051.html(58,494): Validierungsfehler: Attribut "role" ist an diesem Element nicht erlaubt. Erlaubt ist nur das Attribut "accesskey", "charset", "coords", "dir", "hreflang", "lang", "rel", "rev", "shape", "style", "tabindex", "target", "type" oder "xml:lang"

I am surprised that the conversion tool seems to produce invalid epub2 xhtml?

Is this something that I should care about and correct or does it not matter?

Perhaps that 'role' is an ePub3 element has something to do with the error. For your own use, simply removing the role="whatever"s will work.

Alternatively, have calibre generate ePub3 files.
