David BlatnerNo. InDesign cannot do that.
But there are catalog plug-ins to do long tables and they may be able to “fake” it. See

David BlatnerHTML export is meant for importing into another tool, such as Dreamweaver. It is not designed to remember what the page looks like.
David BlatnerWhat do you mean by HTML view? InDesign is not designed to export HTML that looks like the InDesign page. (You can use in5 from ajarproductions.com for that.) Have you tried exporting to PDF?
David BlatnerThis is something I have been asking Adobe about for 15 years. PageMaker could do it in the early 90s.
The best solution I know (if you don’t want to have the actual vectors in InDesign, as Colleen’s method would do) is to color it with a spot color in Illustrator… call it “ThisColor” or anything else special. Then, use InDesign’s ink alias feature to alias that to whatever real color you want to use.

David BlatnerThat is very weird. Might need to rebuild preferences? (See FAQ in Resources section of the navigation menu above.) But… I don’t know, the fact that it happens only on the external monitor is particularly strange.
David BlatnerFor epub files, you want everything in a single INDD file. Very different than DPS. Anne-Marie Concepcion has some very good titles on lynda.com about EPUB and fixed layout epub.
David BlatnerTo read a fixed layout epub, you need to open it in a reader application that supports that file format. EPUB files cannot be viewed on a web site (in a browser window). You would have to download the epub and open it in a reader (like iBooks for Mac or Adobe Digital Editions, etc.)
To preview on an iPad, move the epub file to the iPad (through iTunes or email or dropbox, etc.) and then open it in iBooks (or some other epub reader app)
David BlatnerI don’t think you can turn on that checkbox. That is odd. I wonder why they do not allow that.
You can do it, though. It involves setting the Bleed values manually — for example, if you have a slug at the top, you need to set the Top AND Bottom bleed value to a larger amount, which you can only do if you change the Margins settings in the Print Booklet dialog box.
I will write up a blog post about this, because it is so weird and non-intuitive!
David BlatnerYeah, you can kind of find out like this: https://creativepro.com/type-the-page-number-book.php
but that doesn’t give you the actual number of pages.
Could easily be done with a script, though, I believe.
David BlatnerYes, I believe that is correct. I have not seen scrollable text in FXL yet. (That is something that people are working on for the future.)
However, DPS is only one option for tablet app publishing. There are other options available!

David BlatnerIs it trying to open a document? Perhaps the document is corrupted. If it won’t launch even without opening any document, it could be a font. Or some other system-wide problem. Try using a new or guest account on the same computer and seeing if you can launch InDesign from that account.
David BlatnerI use the html code tags. That is <code> and </code>
