      I’ve got about 12 of this error:

      fragment identifier is not defined in ‘OEBPS

      Here is the entire error albeit parts are my hard drive:

      ERROR: /Users/myusername/Desktop/mydocument.epub/OEBPS/toc.ncx(741,54): ‘toc_marker-121’: fragment identifier is not defined in ‘OEBPS/mydocument-v5-122.xhtml’

      What does it mean and how do I fix it?

      I have made a discovery in INDD related to this issue that can hopefully be fixed some how. It appears this error may be being produced because the xhtml page it is referring to only has a picture on it. In INDD I have a single image filling the page on this page. When I export it to ePUB, if I look into the TOC in ADE there is an empty spot that I can click and it will take me to this image. It is as if the TOC is looking at this image as being something that I have applied a paragraph style to that is being read by the TOC generator. I don’t know how to fix it but I suspect I’ll have to see if there is a style being applied to this.

      I think I solved the problem. In my INDD file for each chapter, in this case each chapter is another year, at the beginning of the chapter I place a full page image and then on the next page is the text that starts the first article. That text has a title and the title has a style that adds it to the TOC of the INDD file. What I had done was place my curser in front of the title and attached a full page graphic inline so since it was inside the TOC style, it added the graphic to the TOC (only visible in the actual epub in the TOC panel) as a blank line. You could still click the line and it would take you to the full page graphic.

      To remedy this, I first deleted the image form it’s current spot which left me with a blank page. I put my curser in front of the title that now had a blank page in front of it and clicked Delete which moved that page of text back one page (getting rid of the blank page.

      Next I inserted my curser at the end of the previous text thread and attached the image again, scaled it and positioned it off page in the art board area and then exported. The blank is now gone and the file validates for that instance of it.
