Hello

I have an error when I try to get this novel on ranobes.

Here is the error :

it's the first time i had this error. I opened the epub on Calibre, and it looks like i have no problem, but i thought that it's better to signal it.

Thank you very much for all your work ! :)

@Flwk It's not a problem with WebToEpub, there's a problem with the web page itself. Looking at the HTML, the page is:

<p> On the other hand, the <forged(fake) memory(memory)> seems to be useful if used well. For example, I could implant a memory to a girl that she will ask me to have sex with her.</forged(fake)></p>

However, when you view this text in a browser, what you see is:

On the other hand, the seems to be useful if used well. For example, I could implant a memory to a girl that she will ask me to have sex with her.

Note the text <forged(fake) memory(memory)> is missing. I think what happened is the text was supposed to have < and > characters, but because they are special, they were not escaped. So they became HTML that's not valid as XHTML.

Note, Calibre is able to view the page, because it's not fussy about invalid XHTML. other epub readers are not as forgiving.

You should probably tell the site admins about the faulty page, so they can fix it. The other pages are probably similar.
