    When I export from the book panel, all my settings such as to use my InDesign TOC style, ignore overrides, don't embed fonts, etc. are completely ignored. If I export just a chapter, the settings are honored. I have tried rebuilding my InDesign preferences and making a brand new book, but neither helped. Does anyone have any ideas? Anne-Marie??

    CS5.5, Mac OS X 10.6.8

    Thanks,

    Sarah

    Hi Sarah,

    That's strange. Hmm. Does it happen with all your INDB book docs or just this one?

    Well, this is the first book I've epubbed from 5.5 (I've done quite a few from CS4). Just now I setup up a quick test book with a few completely different documents in it and it does appear to export using the settings I choose. So, it's a problem with this book? Like I said, I already tried creating a new book. Maybe I'll try the old idml round-trip with each document…

    I *think* I may have figured out what the problem is. I exported all the documents to idml, opened, saved, made a new book and tried exporting to epub with various different settings. The problem seems to be when I add a publisher entry. My publisher name has an ampersand in it, which apparently InDesign doesn't like. If I use the ampersand, ALL the export settings are ignored. If I leave out the ampersand, export settings work as they should.

    Wow … that's a pretty big bug! At the least, they should put up an alert warning the user that ampersands aren't allowed or something.

    I'll see if I can reproduce it here.

    Yes, verified. Has nothing to do with a book… it happens even with a single document.

    I only tested with and without an ampersand, but it may be more special characters as well.

    I'll send a message to some Adobe folks, but you should also file a bug report here:

    Good catch!

    The ambersand is not an allowable character in XML. I wonder if you enter “&amp” (without quotes) if it will work. If not, perhaps you could not enter the ambersand, then search for the name in the XML file and replace with the breakout code.
