Reply To: Export to XML questions and issues

You can link InDesign character and paragraph styles to XML tags so that applying them is pretty much a one click action — if you have a finished document and you want to export it. Working with XML in a document that is still being edited is a little more complicated in my experience. Once you have 'tagged' paragraphs and characters, you can export your tagged content as XML.

Most people on this forum do not have a high opinon of InDesign's XML tools, however if you want to explore further there is a fairly clear overview of InDesign XML capacity in A Designer’s Guide to Adobe InDesign and XML a book by Jame J. Maivald.
