Re: [libreoffice-users] error exporting Writer document

I've solved my problem. And thankyou Brian for the message you sent.

I went back to a backup which did export correctly to epub and xhtml and
then looked for what changes I had made between that 'good' copy and the
'bad' document. I undid the changes progressively while testing the
conversion at intervals.

The only fault was a web hyperlink formed in an unusual manner. Normally
when I form a hyperlink in Writer, I place the url in the 'Target' field
of the dialog box and the text that will be shown underlined as the
clickable link goes in the 'Text' field. I leave the 'Name' field blank.

However, on one occasion out of dozens in this document, a hyperlink
which I probably copied and pasted from somewhere on the web, had the
same entry 3 times - in the 3 fields : Target, Text, Name.

Once I deleted the Name entry, the document now exports correctly.

I can't say I understand why that was a problem but I'm pleased that it
has now gone away.
