Export Tags for Paragraph styles in Indesign CC without classes

With CS6, when you set export tags for para styles, you could export them to epub without classes, for example body text as p, headings as h1 or h2 etc - without need for classes. This made very simple code. With Indesign CC, it seems that classes always get added no matter what. So all your body text is tagged with p with a class of normal or something. Is there a way to go back to setting export tags as straight p of h1, h2 tags??

Nope. It was an intentional change on our part for CC.
I do understand there are a number of folks who would like the option to do this on a per Style basis and I'm very actively considering it for a future CC update.

How to export RTF with paragraph style names?

Anybody can help me "how to export RTF with paragraph style names?"
Thank you

It's not something that's natively done with Indesign.
However it's possible that it might be able to be scripted.

[JS IDCS5] Create tags from paragraph styles

Hello,
I would like to iterating through al the paragraph styles within a document to create there tags from. The tags should have the same name as the paragraph styles. Is that possible and how?
Regards, Sjoerd

Hi Phil,
Absolute beginer here. The script creates tags for the styles outside groups, but for some reason it doesn't create the tags out of the Paragraph Styles in folders.
I enabled the line below and tried to change the "myPStyle" for "myAllPStyle" in the following lines, but still nothing. Gives error when reaches the line myDoc.changeText();
Any hint?
var myAllPStyle = myDoc.allParagraphStyles; //if you want this enable a line all the folder paragraph styles also consider
for (i=2; i<myAllPStyle.length; i++){
 var myAllPStyleName = myAllPStyle[i];
 //alert(myPStyleName.name);
 try{
 var myXml = myDoc.xmlTags.add(String(myAllPStyleName.name));
 }catch(e){}
 app.findTextPreferences = app.changeTextPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
 app.findTextPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = myAllPStyleName;
 app.changeTextPreferences.markupTag=myAllPStyle[i].name;
 myDoc.changeText();
 app.findTextPreferences = app.changeTextPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
Also, how can I make it Map the tags with the PStyles by name after with the script?
Thanks so much

Need Bookmark creation script for Paragraph style. Anybody can help me pl?

Need Bookmark creation script for Paragraph style. Anybody can help me pl?

Hi hasvi,
I wrote a similar script which creates a bookmark on each page in the "main" text frame at the begining of the frame (the 1st insertion point). Here I attached the script and a couple of sample documents: before and after. It's more complex than what you want but you can use it as a starting point. In fact, you have to find a certain paragraph style, loop through every found item and insert a bookmark, say, at the beginning of the found text.

Tagging character styles and paragraph styles in inDesign

I'm working on a complex book in which everything on the pages is styled.
I've been asked to tag the vocabulary terms in the text, so that the correct page number shows up in the index.
I've been asked to tag the folios as well, for the table of contents.
The folios are a paragraph style.
The vocabulary terms are styled with a character style.
How do I do this?
Any help much appreciated.

InDesign's built-in Table of Contents function picks up text based on paragraph styles. I'm not sure you really men, though, that you want to pick up the folios, if you are using the term as I understand it, to mean the page numbers. You really want to pick up the various headings used to identify the topics or titles. ID will supply the page numbers.
As for the indexing, there may be a script that can find text with a particular character style assigned and add it to an index (you should ask over in the scripting forum: InDesign Scripting) but you should also read the Help on Indexes and learn more about how they operate.

How do I stop InDesign CS6 from suddenly forgetting export tags for accessible Adobe PDFs?

Was working in InDesign CS6 on Windows 7 Enterprise today with a file that had a large number of export tags available, which I use when exporting accessible PDFs,
Suddenly, my selection of tags became severely limited.
When opening another blank file, even tags such as H1, P, and Story were missing. I had to replace my InDesign application preferences with those from a backup made a few weeks ago, and reimport the tags from a file done last month. Is anyone aware of an issue which would cause InDesign to suddenly lose its ability to tag stories for export?

I've moved your question to the InDesign EPUB forum.
EXACTLY what version of CS6 are you running? There was a bug in an early version of CS6 that prevented either space before or space after from being recognized (I forget which). It was fixed in a later version.
What does it say in the About InDesign dialog?

Gylphs and paragraph styles in InDesign CS4

When I insert a character from the glyph palette, it doesn't retain the paragraph style. For example, I'm using Minion Pro and inserting the fraction for one half. The fraction inserts, but then the paragraph style has a plus sign which indicates a change to the paragraph style. What's causing this?

Well I tested it myself before posting. The Glyph from the Glyphs panel is using a different style set than that in ther paragraph style.
You can see this yourself if you make a Fraction with fractions turned on and also insert a glyph.
Use File>Export and choose InDesign Tagged Text. Open the Tagged Text file in notepad or similar and search for "fraction" and you'll see that the style sets are different.
When I tested it in InDesign the Paragraph override didn't come on when I unchecked the style sets in the Paragraph Style.

Mapping XML tags to paragraph styles that contain nested styles

I am importing XML into InDesign (CS5.5) and the tag mapping to styles is working fine until I get to a paragraph style that contains a nested style.
I have a sentence that starts with a number:
1the dog runs fast.
In InDesing properly styled looks like this:
1 The dog runs fast.
(tab)1(tab)The dog runs fast.
The number is styled with a character style (Number) and the whole sentence is styled with a paragraph style (Sentence). In order to get the tabs in between the number, I have a nested style within the paragraph style (Sentence). This triggers the tabs when it hits the character style (Number) like this:
Number up to 2 Tab Characters
In XML, it looks like this
<sentencetag><numbertag>1</numbertag>The dog runs fast.</sentencetag>
Sentencetag is mapped to Sentence paragrph style and Numbertag is mapped to Number character style, but the nested style for the tabs are not displaying. I just get this in IND.
1the dog runs fast.
Everything works beautifully until I hit the nested styles, which I do need to get to work somehow. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

It sounds like your tab characters are actually disappearing from content in the XML. Jeff was responding to the fact that they need to be there, and you state that you originally had them in your document, but they are not showing up once imported through the XML.
The tabs may be disappearing in the XML document due to the "TAB" character in your text editor not being a tab, or at least not properly-formed XML TAB equivalent, OR because you are not "importing whitespace elements" when you import your XML.
Importing whitespace elements can wreak havoc on other things in your XML structure and styled layout within the Indesign document, so I would put the XML quivalent of TAB everywhere a tab should be in your XML, and make sure NOT to import whitespace (when importing XML using "Merge Content", select not to import whitespace items from the import options).
I believe the XML friendly character code for a TAB character is "	" or "	" but have not tested this. Don't include quotes when adding the character code, just the ampersand, semicolon, and everything in-between.
Also, sounds like your tags are mapping ok for you, so your XML should look something like:
<sentencetag>	<numbertag>1</numbertag>	The dog runs fast</sentencetag>.
It should't matter where you put the TAB character equivalent in relation to your nested tag.

Grep script that looks for paragraph style A followed by paragraph style B

Hello,
I am fairly new to scripting in Indesign and I have run across something I want to script that I don't know how to do. Two of the paragraph styles that are in our files are Normal and Song. I need to add an extra paragraph return between all instances of Normal followed by a Song. I tried to search the forums to see if this was already on here somewhere and if it is I didn't come across it. I would like to set it up as a grep script but if anyone has an alternative way to do this I would like to know also.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
So you could use a script.
I assume a text frame with proper story is selected and whole story is in one frame or linked frames.
myStory = app.selection[0].parentStory;
if (myStory.constructor.name !== "Story")
     alert ("Select a destination text frame, pls\rand try again");
     exit();
myNormal = app.activeDocument.paragraphStyles.item("Normal");
mySong = app.activeDocument.paragraphStyles.item("Song");
app.findTextPreferences = null;
app.findTextPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = mySong;
mFound = myStory.findText();
len = mFound.length - 1;
if (len >= 0)
     while (len--)
     currPara = mFound[len].paragraphs[0];
          if (myStory.paragraphs.previousItem(currPara).appliedParagraphStyle == myNormal)
          currPara.insertionPoints[0].contents = "\r";

Can't edit Padding (in Borders and Shading) for paragraph style in .CSS

Can someone please explain why I can't define the padding of
a solid box when editing paragraph styles of a .CSS?
Running RH 7.02.
I can edit the padding if I select the style from within a
topic. When I attempt to edit the style in a .CSS, the Padding
button is disabled.

At least it's comforting to know it's not just me ...
From this discussion, apparently it's not a bug:

How do i keep my paragraph style list from growing without my permission?

Im trying to keep my Paragraph styles organized. Everytime I add a table into my pages document it adds a new header or body eventhough all the fonts in the table are already set up with the paragraph styles that are in the document. Also it wont let me delete the style so I have to rename it and i do so with putting zzz in front of it so it goes to the bottom of the list. unfortnately, i can not figure this out.

Just go back to the main Discussions page and scroll down through the different forums and you'll find it

Set exported resolution for each image within InDesign

I'm generating a document in InDesign destined only for the screen (as a PDF) and I'm wondering whether in CS6 the user can set the exported resolution separately for each image. i.e click on a image and set the resolution for that image. Reason: to allow end-viewers to zoom in on certain images and retain quality.
And while I'm on the subject of changing resolution, a few years ago someone wrote a script for me (in response to a post), that when you clicked on an image within InDesign, resampled the original to 300 dpi, saved it, and made the necessary adjustments in InDesign so the image stayed the same size.
Can CS6 do that? Or do I need to dig up the old script?

> ... destined only for the screen (as a PDF) ...
The developers of PDF will thank you for that statement!

Inserting HTML tag for character style

I want to be able to use the <DEL> HTML tag around some text:
Regular Price <del>$395</del> Today $95
So, it should look like this:
Regular Price $395 Today $95
This works reliably in Dreamweaver (both preview and in various browsers). It also works on this forum page! But I can't get it to work in Muse.
Here is my test site:
http://musetest-dec152012.businesscatalyst.com/index.html
I followed the instructions here:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4819276#4819276
This shows how to add a scroll box using HTML. That works on the test site. I then modified the contents to add <DEL> to the second word and it isn't shown. [I also added to the sixth word and it doesn't show either.]
I followed the instructions here:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4399108#4399108
This shows how to use a character style. The style seems to work, but the style doesn't show up in the browser. Any rate, there is no way I can find to add my own tag and the <DEL> tag is not one of those in the pull down list.

Iain --
Muse overrides the default styling for the 'del' and 'ins' tags. If you want to use these tags in custom HTML, and have styling applied to them, you'll have to specify the styling you want with inline CSS, like so:
Regular Price <del style="text-decoration: line-through">$395</del> Today $95

@s_ashok – you'll find the right methods and properties in the CHM file for InDesign CS2 at:
http://www.jongware.com/idjshelp.html
Just a few hints:
InDesign CS2 does not support GREP search/replace, so every line in your code that points to GREP does not work.
Further: "app.findTextPreferences" and "app.changeTextPreferences" were "app.findPreferences" and "app.changePreferences" in InDesign CS2. And then there were no "findChangeTextOptions" or any counterpart for that in CS2…
That should get you running…
I have no InDesign CS2 installed to debug, so this is all I can say…
