Hi all,
I have been reading with interest everyone's comments on this issue. I tried
Jamie's method of replacing page breaks with blank line page break blank line.
I performed a "replace all," and in a book that is around 150 pages, there were
only 21 replacements, and these were between front matter pages and between
pages where one chapter ends and another begins. There was a discussion a few
weeks ago about hard page breaks versus soft page breaks. I'm not sure I
understand all this yet, but the following is the conclusion I have come to
regarding the book in question: When using Jamie's method of replacing page
breaks with blank line page break blank line, if only 21 replacements are made
in a book that is over 150 pages, then the other 129 or so page breaks must
therefore be soft page breaks and have nothing to do with the actual pagination
of the print book. Since this book does not contain any page numbers, I cannot
confirm this for sure, but I'm fairly certain that this is what's going on. As
far as I understand it, books without hard page breaks (those that correspond
with the actual pagination of the print book) must be rejected. That all took a
lot longer to explain than I thought. Am I correct, or at least on the right
track, with all this, and am I correct in believing that this book does indeed
need to be rejected because of its lack of hard page breaks? If so, what a long
process to find out that a book needs to be rejected, but, on a positive note,
this newbie validator has definitely learned a lot from this one little book!
Thanks for everyone's help with this, especially G. Cindy for taking the time
to track down the copyright page.
Christine
