What happens using webpage mode?

If I use WebPage mode, it gives me the same error message, but tells me that the
webpage MIGHT be a book

this is the patch we use in Frugalware. the trick is that the webpage option 
should
be the last one ;)

I have some doubts on the patch. Doesn't this override when someone wants to 
use the
--book option?

You can correct the HTML problem that caused the error by first using the
--extract-only option to extract the HTML files from the CHM, then correct the 
HTML
files, then use the --dontextract option to convert the already extracted and
corrected files into a single PDF. How to do all this is explained in an 
example for
 similar problems in:

Note: We can do nothing about such "bugs" because the errors are reported to 
chm2pdf
by htmldoc. Thus if htmldoc says it is "unable to parse HTML element on line 
XXX",
then you have to find line XXX in the HTML file(s) and correct it. The 
--extract-only
and --dontextract options were created for exacly this kind of scenario.
