  In a completed (and valid) ePub, I had a couple images that were originally .jpg but I replaced them with (larger) .pngs because they were text and/or line drawings.
  
  I changed all the references and item properties to match the .png files, but I am still getting a validation error from one chapter that calls up an image.
  
  This is the problematic line:
  
  < p class=”timg”></p >
  
  The error is “Referenced resource could not be found in the EPUB.”
  
  So I’m stumped. The image is in the right directory, it has the right name, and it seems to be referenced properly. The related code in the package.opf is
  
  <item id=”f136″ href=”images/f136.png” media-type=”image/png”/>
  
  Any thoughts? The version using the .jpg has the same code except, of course, “jpg” replaces “png.” The really odd thing is that there are two images that I changed but only one is producing an error.

  Ugh can anyone tell me how to format the code so it doesn’t get parsed?

  Tried putting in code tags in brackets but that didn’t work…

  Your last HTML tag (before you edited it), is still is referencing the JPG

    Sorry, that was just frustration trying to get the forum to read correctly and I copy and pasted from wrong doc. The problem file did have .png specified.

    On the other hand, maybe you were right. Too many windows open, too many files, looks like it is validating now. Thanks for un-stupifying me.

  It’s clear, that you have a typo in the file. Did you use the epubchecker from pagina? > If not, this app shows you exactly the lines where you have problems and you can repair them.

    Yes, I used the validator and saw the error but when I went to the location, it seemed to be correct. Probably what had happened was that I validated the old version instead of the new version, and stumped myself LOL.
