MemberI'm not sure what's up with the colors, but I know the iPad is weird about centering text. Even though the style tells it to align center, it doesn't listen unless there is a <span> tag also, even if it's empty. Just a weird quirk. Try this:
<p class=yourcssstylename><span>Centered Title</span></p>
August 30, 2011 at 9:51 am in reply to: Move pages to another doc makes the text missing (pink) #60406MemberThis kind of thing has happened to me before when the paragraph style is [Basic Paragraph] or based on [Basic Paragraph]. If the two documents have different [Basic Paragraph] definitions, you have the potential of running into missing fonts, etc. I would check your style definitions.
MemberI *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.
MemberWell, 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…
MemberAnneMarie or David, have you experienced this? I was so excited about my first export to epub from CS5.5 after working with CS4, but I also ended up with a billion CSS styles. Really weird. I haven't had a chance to get back to it and try to figure it out. Any thoughts?
Member@shone1505, I uploaded my image to photobucket first. I see from your other post, you figured it out.
Member@Alan, yes, I've fiddled with the justification settings quite a bit. This seems to be an anomaly that is not adhering to the specified settings.
@Eugene, glad it's not just me. It's weird.
Anyone else have a magic fix for this? It's a real shame because it makes the cross-reference function useless to me. To have to go back and manually tweak each occurrence completely defeats the purpose of automating.
MemberLo and behold, I can type a paragraph symbol in the index tag. However, it converts it to ^7. So if I needed 10 to the power of 7 and I entered 10^7, I would get 10¶.
Anyway, between the two methods, I'll work it out. I like your brain too, David. ;-)
MemberWow, thanks Jongware! I like your brain. :-)
MemberSo, David, just curious… would you recommend a different workflow? My company is primarily a book publisher, but we also re-purpose content into software, apps, epub, mobi, pdf. Considering most of our content is currently in InDesign, does my approach make sense (tagging xml in InDesign)? Or should I look at XML editors? The thought of re-importing XML to InDesign every time we reprint kind of makes my head hurt. The layout's going to need tweaking or fine-tuning…a little more complex than the business card example always used to demonstrate importing XML.
MemberI understand what you're saying, in theory, David. But in practice, I have to agree with Frederick. I have not encountered an instance in my work when I could finalize all content in an XML editor before ever touching InDesign. Not realistic for me. Besides, I can't really believe I'm supposed to think of InDesign as just my print layout tool. It's trying to be more than that, right? With interactive features, XML, epub, etc. Why shouldn't it house my primary content which can then be output in these variety of ways. If it's not well designed to work that way, in my humble opinion, it should be. :-)
MemberInstead of the book page numbering options, did you look at the document numbering options? (or from within each document you can go to Layout/Numbering & Section Options) Each document should be set to “automatic page numbering” rather than “start page numbering at 1”.
September 15, 2010 at 11:42 am in reply to: how to include all books inside the book panel in the index? #57013MemberYou have to have all the documents in the book OPEN when you generate the index.
MemberThanks Jongware. I thought it should work that way! Unfortunately, this is a 600+ page book with 30 chapters, so it's too many files to un-gunk. I'll get there. Pulling chapters from different books with different indexing approaches (some second levels, some only first), circular cross-references, duplicate entries with varying capitalization…fun, fun!
