Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] Converting Docbook epub to Kindle shows warnings
Hi Lars, I know this is from a long time ago, but I just ran into the same problem with a file that nests variable lists using the list-presentation=âblocksâ processing instruction. In that case, the XHTML5 (this is with 1.79.2, building an epub3) is valid, but kindlegen doesnât like the nesting. It closes off the highest level <dl> and <dd> elements and flags some <dt> elements as being invalid. The result doesnât lose any content, but it removes the nesting and flattens everything to one level. As with your case, the epub is valid and when displayed, the nesting is fine. At this point, Iâm convinced that the problem is in kindlegen. I just used the Kindle previewer, which wasnât available in 2012, and it created a .mobi file that preserves the nesting (at least on the devices I tried in the previewer). Anyway, this is probably way to late to help, but I figured Iâd add it to the thread in case someone runs into it in the future, since it is still a problem using kindlegen.
