 After exporting to epub. I'm getting a vertical line after the last sentence of the chapter and before the chapter begins.

 

Does anyone know why?

This is probably the optimal fix — good work!

 

The line almost certainly comes from the "line above" spacing method needed for InDesign. If you keep the line thin (0 or 1pt) and the offset large (1 or more inches), it works best, but a fragment of border can still come through on some readers. Using CSS to set the border for this paragraph to 0 width or border:none should eliminate the artifact in all readers. (The line and spacing are not used by EPUB/Kindle.)
