Reply To: EPUB Code Clean-Up of InDesign Exports

Hi D.E.

I’ve also wondered about the extra code that InD has included since CC. The only explanation I’ve been able to find is a comment from an Adobe staff member, https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1855603

David Blatner also addresses this in an article from this site from 2010, https://creativepro.com/indesign-object-styles-convert-to-div-classes-in-epub-export.php

Can’t remember where I read or heard this, but it seems Adobe’s trying hard to help designers not have to open the xhtml files and only edit the css. But until they solve common situations like how to keep photos and captions together in one div and how to convert text anchors and links successfully, we’ll still have to crack them open.
