Export to Fixed_Layout EPUB: Paragraph Styles not exporting to CSS class tags

Hi,
As it says, my Paragraph Styles aren't exporting to CSS class tags with a Fixed Layout EPUB.
...But Object Styles are working ok.
Seems to work ok when exporting to HTML or Reflowable EPUB... just not Fixed Layout.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Forgot to say: Mac OSX 10.8(?) Adobe Indesign CC 2014

Hi... it was 10.0.7
Updated to 10.1 & wahoo - it works now.
Will mark your answer correct as it prompted me to update.

Make paragraph style not override character style?

Hi.
Is there any way to make a paragraph style NOT override a character style?
For example, I write a lot of scientific reports in Pages and then I use subscript and superscript often and so I have made a character style for that. But if I want to perhaps change the spacing between paragraphs in my body style. I select a paragraph, change the settings that I want and then I right click on the paragraph style and choose "redefine style from selection". Then I select all of that style and choose "revert to defined style" to get the updated paragraph spacing. But what this does is that it overrides all of the character styles so that everything in sub/superscript, bold, italic etc get back to the style. This is really bugging me out.
For the character styles you can select what attributes you want them to affect, is there any way to do this with paragraph styles as well? Or maybe some of you have got a good way to make it work.
Thanks in advance.

When you redefine the paragraph style, all paragraphs using that style will display the new style properties, unless you've overriden them. Presumably this is why you choose "revert to defined style", so that other paragraphs that you've stylistically modified take on the proper paragraph style properties. If not, why revert at all?
Instead of using revert, why not re-apply the paragraph style (just click on the selected style in the drawer, or pick the selected item from the pop-up menu). It will discard your unwanted paragraph style overrides, and preserve the character styles.

TOC for ePub Paragraph style editing

I'm trying to figure out if InDesign can allow us to editor the dynamic table of contents. What we have is basically this:
Chapter number (unique paragraph style)
Chapter title (unique paragraph style)
First paragraph (unique paragraph style)
We want the ToC that gets pulled up in a eBook reader to show this:
Chapter 1: Chapter Title
Chapter 2: Chapter Title
Right now, InDesign seems to only export each as a specifc paragraph style, without setting them on the same line side by side. We get stuck with:
Chapter 1
Chapter Title
Chapter 2
Chapter Title
Does anyone know of a way to export the ePub so it's what we want rather than this hirarchically broken way?

This TOC issue has bugged me for years.
I have been able to come up with certain workarounds, but only when my physical (print) TOC just happens to be set up exactly as I would like it displayed in the ePub (this is not always the case).
It would be wonderful if there was a way for us to better control how the TOC info is output when exporting to ePub.
For now, the fastest and easiest way to deal with this issue (for me anyway), is to manually update it in the ePub file after export.
Cheers,
Ron

Character styles & Body paragraph style not rendering as specified

Hi, I am creating my first epub, and am using InDesign CS 5 (no intention of upgrading). I've constructed it as a book, each chapter in its own file. I am encountering two problems I am unable to think my way out of:
1. None of the three character styles are rendering as they should.
-"Bold" text is rendering much larger than "Body" paragraph style, even though both are specified at 18 px.
-"Bullet" renders as UL, but at a much smaller point size than "Body" despite being specified as 18px.
-"Ital" is also rendering a much larger font size than is should.
2. I don't seem to be able to affect spacing between "Body" paragraphs, or below h1, etc.
Any insights? Any help?

Paragraph styles not working in pages 5.0

I upgraded pages to the newer version 5.0 and the documents that I had on my old version lost all the paragraph styles I had created. I also tried to create new paragraph styles with numeral lists and bullets and this is not working *(not applying format). The old version worked very good doing that. Do any one have had this issue? Can it be a bug? I will appreciate your input. Thanks

Apple removed over 110 features from Pages 5.2.2 and added countless bugs:

Paragraph styles can no longer include list numbering.
Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder, use that.

Paragraph Styles not showing up in TOC window

I am using a template that uses paragraph styles ( when I click on a heading line the corresponding Heading 1 becomes selected in the paragraph styles draw) yet no paragaph headings show up in the TOC window.
thanks for any help

Thank you.
The problem is that sometimes they will display, and sometimes they
won't (within the same document).
I finally got them to show up, but then if I re-open they may (or may
not) disappear.

Paragraph Styles not working correctly

Imported a Word Doc. Modified the font type and size. Also modified the indent for each paragraph style (this is a large outline document). Everything changed on screen and in the document. Saved the "Redefine from Selection". The changes however are not saved in paragraph styles. Only the first style changed all parameters. The remaining 6 all retain their original font, size and indent from the original document. Does the list style control this? What am I missing?

Yes and no difference. Turned on all hidden markers. Does not change a thing. Actually changes entire paragraph to style 2 instead of the defined style 4. Both are incorrect as they do not retain what I changed everything to.

How to handle paragraph styles in imported text with no tagged paragraph styles

Hi
Im currently trying to import a file (word file / excel I have both formats) into an indesign book and formatting the text automatically!
My question is: How is it possible to reflow text into frames and when changing frame it changes paragraph?
Or how is it possible to change paragraph style when forcing a line break when using text reflow?
I have already figured out how to reflow the text, and actually also managed to relow text into the frames and change paragraph style. I know how to use the keep option, and by this change the paragraph style when e.g. changing frame break/page break etc. (but if the content being flowed-in is not tagged with style names then I cannot figure out how to do it) The document and its content I whish to import do not have any tagged paragraphs!
Then I tried to look into "object styles" and format a text frame on a master page with an object style, and by using a "dilimiter character" forcing the text to start in a new frame when bringing the frame into live on a page. But here I cannot make the "text frame/object style" to apply or to work.
If any of you have a hint, I would be more than happy to hear from you
This picture are illustrating the outcome I would to get to....

If the incoming text does not have styles, or has only one style, there is really not much you can do other than assign styles after the import. If there are recognizable patterns in the formatting, a lot of that can be done with Find/Change, and there are a few scripts floating around that can help automate some of that.
Also, if your styles have a a good "next style" heirarchy built in, you can select large blocks of text (up to the point where applying next style would be incorrect), then right click the style name in the paragraph styles panel and choose apply style and next style (remove overrides). Warning. Removing overrides will remove any locally applied formatting like bold or italics, so local formatting should be converted to character styles first. Applied character styles are not overrides and will be preserved.

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.

Custom Paragraph Styles not Sticking

I have defined some custom styles for the Headings, but their size is not sticking. For example, my Heading 1 is defined as Times New Roman Bold size 24, Heading 2 as the same but size 18, etc.
When I switch to body, and then switch back to Heading 2, I get the bold, but not the size—the text just becomes TNR bold size 12. I have to click the red triangle next to Heading 2 and click "Revert to Defined Style" each time, even though I didn't explicitly change the format. I have tried to re-define the style, but still get this issue. How can I fix it?

Not being an expert on styles, I haven't used them much, I would suggest you read the Pages User Guide. It is downloadable from the Pages Help menu.
I would read the chapter about styles and see how one is meant to do. In my small experience it can have to do with if one is clicking once or twice on the style.

Styles grouped in .css are not reflected in Paragraph styles in RH

I'm test driving TCS2 in Windows XP.
I watched RJ Jacquez' excellent video on FM9 and RH8 integration. He suggested grouping similar styles in the .css to make it easier to make changes. I did as he suggested and grouped all of my heading styles together since I want them to have the same look and feel. However, They are not showing up in Paragraph styles in RH, but under Other. I'm a newbie to .css, so it's probably something simple.
Using Dreamweaver, II created a style for all of my headings and named it Heading1, Heading2, Heading3 (exactly what they are called in FM).
I then created all of the attributes, such as font-family, that I wanted to apply to all of them.
I then deleted all of the individual heading styles.
I saved in DW, then updated in RH. My Heading1, Heading2, Heading3 style is displayed under Other.
My questions:
Why is it displaying under Other?
How do I map my FM settings to the newly created style?
Thanks for the help!

Hi,
In your CSS you have to tell what kind of style you are adding, the so called selectors. You use selectors so the browser (or RH) knows what elements you want to style. My guess is that you simply added the paragraph style names in the css, without use of the selector. You CSS probably looks something like this:
Heading1 {}
To solve your problem, change it in P.Heading1. The style will now show up under the paragraphs.
I'm don’t use FM, but my guess is that you use Heading1 etc as headings in your document. In HTML, you normally use headings for these and not paragraphs. You may want to change the styles in your CSS with h1, h2 etc. You can then map your FM headings to the HTML headings.

[Basic Paragraph] style behaviour upon copy/paste

Hi,
we just get started changing from Quark to InDesign, and our lead layout-producer is not so crazy about style sheets, so everything she creates is using the [Basic Paragraph] Style.
A by her created libary now contains groups of text objects in Basic Paragraph with format changes +
When I use these groups, or copy and paste from another document, why does InDesign keep the changes like fontsize or -color, but does change the font?
My basic paragraph does use another font, so its quite annoying INDD keep the changes, but keep change the font.
What can I do to prevent INDD from changing the font?

So, i made this beauuutiful thingy for a test. It looks disgusting, i know. The point is that it uses 4 fonts and different modifications.
If I get you right, to prepare a "good" document, our layout-producer should clogg our documents with different paragraph-styles not to use the Basic? Sure, she can convert it into paths, but different collegues have to translate this stuff later so that isnt an option.
Maybe she can "design" things like that in Illu, giving us an AI to use.
I made an irritating discovery:
As I built this thing with Futura as my Basicparagraph-font, i dragged it into a libary, closed every doc to change my default-paragraph-style to another font to see what happens. I set up a empty doc and dragged it back in again – no changes at all. I was surprised. Its in the basic, it has a +, and if i click on basic it changes to GillSans, if i alt+click the modifications (like the colors) turn to black… – this is what i was looking for :-)
But why with my other test-object. Im nearly in closing time here, so i will upload an image tomorrow, but the only variable that haved changed to my second try minutes ago:
– the objects were converted using Q2ID (Markzware)
– the group just contained one (but another) font
Maybe theres the problem somewhere.

Replace paragraph style [JS]

Hi All,
(1)
I have a JS code for replace paragraph style (come word file (floppy style)) its working good. But my problem is that when run this code if find paragraph style not define (word file (floppy style)) in flow indesign file then error. Is that possible if paragraph style not find then ignore then run next step. Please see code below
var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
var myParagraphStyleA = myDocument.paragraphStyles.item("h1");
myParagraphStyleA.remove(myDocument.paragraphStyles.item("1H: One Head"));
(2)
You have any script for delete only unused (para/char (Floppy style)) only.
Thank you so much adv.

Hello Sir (Harbs, Jongware and other),
I am really sorry for late answering. I am junior so heavy workload.
This line code "h1" paragraph style actually comes ms-word file (floppy style).
var myParagraphStyleA = myDocument.paragraphStyles.item("h1");
Second line code "1H: One Head" is InDesign CS4 paragraph style.
var myParagraphStyleA = myDocument.paragraphStyles.item("h1");
If "h1" PS comes (ms-word) in InDesign then code run good. In case if "h1" PS not comes in InDesign file then script error.
I have just mapping both Paragraph Style (PS) (ms-word, InDesign) if both styles mapping then script run. When run same script other chapters if any tag not come form (ms-word) but whose PS define in script then script error.
My question is that if any PS comes from (ms-word) if this style not define in script, script run properly otherwise script display massage these PS (ms-word(floppy)) not define in your script code.
(2) My second query
If all PS mapping by script but ms-word style (floppy) appear in my indesign file. Is that possible these PS replace (mapping) ms-word style (floppy) automatically remove.
Thank you so much

Set by script the tag and/or the class of a paragraph style for HTML / EPUB export?

Is it possible to set by script the tag and/or the class of a paragraph style for HTML / EPUB export?

I found a way
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS6"
tell document 1
tell paragraph style 2
--get count of style export tag map
tell style export tag map 1 -- HTML , 2 = PDF
--get export class
--get export tag
set export tag to "H1"
set export class to "blue"
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
and its works
but thanks for help to use the class "style export tag map"

How do I prevent unwanted paragraph style overrides when exporting an epub

I am having trouble controlling the size of a logo in an e-pub. Actually, it's only a problem with Amazon's Kindle which seems to insist on enlarging the image to the full screen width. So, I need a robust command in my CSS to override Kindle's preference. Seems easy. I placed the logo into my In Design layout in a picture box with the object style "frontmatterlogo" which should export into a div of the same name. Which it does. So far so good. However, In Design insists on creating a paragraph style override (see bold in the code below) which disregards the frontmatterlogo settings I've written in to my CSS in favour of it's own image settings which correspond to the size of the placed image. Currently, I've just put together a hacked solution by writing a class for para-style-override into my CSS. It's an inelegant solution but seems to work for all the other e-readers. But, as mentioned, it doesn't work on the Kindle.
Anyone have any idea what is causing these overrides and how I might prevent them so my div class can take over?

Thanks for getting back so quickly, Bob.
I'm using Version 5.5. I have basically the same problem when the object is anchored. In the case below, I created a new paragraph style for the line on which the logo would be anchored, also mapping to the frontmatterlogo entry in my CSS. This time, no paragraph-style-override is added but In Design still adds it's own image dimensions corresponding to the size at which the image was placed in the layout. This overrides the settings in my CSS and, I suspect, might be what's allowing the Kindle settings to take over as well. I had kind of resigned myself to fixing this in the code on a book by book basis, which is fine if the only images the book contains is a cover and a title page logo. But I'm worried about what happens when I have to create an e-pub from a photo-heavy book. You can see how it would be ideal to create a few specific object styles for different image situations in In Design and have them map them to specific div styles in my CSS. Basically it's a workflow issue. This would minimize the amount of after-the-fact coding our already swamped designers would have to do.
It's so obvious in the code where the problem lies, and so I just have a feeling that there may be a simple fix. If only I knew why In Design felt obliged to specify the image size.
