EPUBCheck INF-001: EPUBCheck rule under review

Updated:

EPUBCheck INF-001 is an info message: “Rule … is under review and its severity may change in a future release. See the discussion at ….” The rule behind a message is under review and its severity may change in a later EPUBCheck release. The note names the rule and links to the public discussion, so you can see why it may change.

The official message

Rule %1$s is under review and its severity may change in a future release. See the discussion at %2$s

Default severity
Info. Informative only. It does not make the EPUB invalid.
EPUBCheck version
5.4.0

%1$s, %2$s… are filled in with the file, value or element EPUBCheck found.

Typical causes

  • A check the EPUBCheck maintainers are reconsidering, reported next to the message it concerns.
  • Running a recent EPUBCheck version on a book that triggers that check.

How to fix it

  1. Nothing to fix because of this note itself.
  2. Read the linked discussion to see whether the rule is likely to become stricter or looser.
  3. Fix the message it refers to if it applies to your book, so the result does not change when the severity does.

When it's not this

This note is about EPUBCheck itself, not your EPUB; the message it accompanies is the one to read.
