How to apply paragraph styles to xml tag?

Hi All,
How to apply paragraph style to xml tag?

Hi Learner,
Try the below js code.
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
try{
    mySel=app.selection[0];
    myDoc.xmlElements[0].xmlElements.add({markupTag:"TEST", xmlContent:mySel});
    }catch(e){
        alert(e);
var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
app.findGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = "test";
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = ".+(?=\\r)"
var mySearch = myDocument.findGrep(false);
for (a=0; a<mySearch.length; a++){
    myDocument.xmlElements[0].xmlElements.add({markupTag:"TEST", xmlContent:mySearch[a]});
thx,

How to apply multiple styles for nested tags in XML?

Say you import this XML into InDesign:
<Root>
<strong>
<em>Bolded and Italicized</em>
</strong>
</Root>
And you have two character styles, bold and italics, to map to strong and em tags respectively.
You will see that the text appears italicized not bolded and italicized as expected. Generally, only the innermost tag will get the style and will overwrite its parent styles.
Notice the XML is generated dynamically and tags order is not enforced. Also, there's an additional underline tag that can be nested with these two.
So far I have tried to use GREP styles (with paragraph styles), but these do not have effect in the XML tags.
Other possible options not tried yet:
Create new tags for every formatting combination. Not what I really want because I could en up with a lot of tags each one with a corresponding styles.
Create InDesign XML rules to apply character styles automatically based on the tags
Use character styles in the XML with the aid namespace referencing InDesign styles. Will this really work?
What do you suggest to go for? See any other option?
Thank you in advance.
Juan

I'd say that you should create tags not for appearances, but for semantic content. Specifying formatting styles in your XML betrays your lack of familiarity with the format, because the last thing you'd want to do would be to use HTML markup in the middle of your XML. If you have content that's supposed to be both bolface and oblique - say, a warning - then it's marked up as
<warning>Never refer directly to formatting in your XML markup, only to content types!</warning>
If I had a document that was written in the style you suggest - one with lots of overlapping local formatting - I'd look at developing a better style guide that told the writers that doing so would be bad form. Because, you know, many of the writers I deal with are addicted to forms of emphasis that do nothing useful whatsover for their readership - they only serve to overemphasize the authorial voice of the writers.
Maybe you could tell us why you need these overlapping forms of styling, and we could suggest other InDesign formatting tools (like line styles or nested styles) that would help you get the appearance you want without crowding styling markup into your XML - where, strictly speaking, it doesn't really belong.

Assign paragraph-styles to xml-tags correctly. How to?

Hi,
I want to assign xml-tags to existing paragraph styles in InDesign CS6 on a Mac 10.6.8. The xml itself is organized like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<katalog>
<artikel id="32434">
<img href="/bilder/32434.tiff" />
<artikeltextgruppe>
<artikelmarke>DieselGabana</artikelmarke>
<artikelheadline>Jeans ist super</artikelheadline>
<artikeltext>Superjeans knallt rein.</artikeltext><artikelnummer>70238</artikelnummer>
<artikelmaterial>100% Jeans</artikelmaterial>
<artikelgroesse>Uni</artikelgroesse>
<artikelfarbe>Uni</artikelfarbe>
</artikeltextgruppe>
</artikel>
</katalog>
By selecting the option "Assign formats per name to the tags" (translated from German) I wanted to generate the desired look. But if I start this all I get is the whole textblock of <artikeltextgruppe> assigned to 1 formatstyle. And besides that the whole content of <artikeltextgruppe> looks like one single paragraph without any structure (no linebreaks) The content though is correctly structured because I can highlight the value of e.g. <artikelmarke>separately by doubleclicking this tag in the structure-view.
a) What can I do to assign the formats correctly AND to have correct linebreaks?
b) If I drag my node <img href="/bilder/32434.tiff" /> iin the layout I get a message displayed to search again for the correct reference location. And that happens independently on using relative or absolute references (Although I need to use relative ones) What can I do here?
thanks so much

First, I would probably do a search and replace to remove the group element using a text editor (the <artikeltextgruppe> and </artikeltextgruppe> elements). They really are not needed.
Second, I usually create my styles with the same names as the elements themselves. Then, after the XML is imported, I use the "map tags to styles" command from the Structure pane.
I copied and pasted the single artikel element to create 4 records, added a varition of an image to each element record. Once the paragraph styles were mapped, your XML looked like this in a two column format (to get all 4 records on a page)...
By default, ID will create a single line to a single line in the XML. So if you desire elements to be on their own line, the XML needs to be formatted that way. If you need different styling within a paragraph, you need to create character styles and alter the elements within an XML group and or paragraph and add the code in the XML accordingly or post process once inside of ID.
I always need to take the XML I am given and reformat, move elements with the tree, change links to images, remove tabs and or spaces where I do not want them, tag for character styles, etc., to get close to how I want the initial format to be.

How to know if a applied paragraph style has changed

in Applescript, is there a propertie to know if a applied paragraph style in not "the original"
==> title become title+
Thanks

One way to do it in Applescript:
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS6"
          tell document 1
                    tell page 1
                              tell (every text frame whose label is "frame1")
-- paragraph 1 has no style overrides
                                        return style overridden of paragraph 1 --> false
-- paragraph 2's leading is different
                                        return style overridden of paragraph 2 --> true
                              end tell
                    end tell
          end tell

Asign paragraph styles to xml nodes

Hello all,
I try to asign paragraph styles to xml nodes. I tried to autoasign the styles to tags and also to assign the styles directly to the xml tags with aid:pstyle. None of it with success. I think that this happens because there is a paragraph formating missing in my xml. I tried to change this with <aid:br/> but also no success.
This is how my xsl looks like:

I want to achieve that I can pull the the following tag from the structure view in Indesign to a textframe and the text gets the different formating.
<Text xmlns:aid="http://ns.adobe.com/AdobeInDesign/4.0/" xmlns:aid5="http://ns.adobe.com/AdobeInDesign/5.0/">
                    <EK aid5:pstyle="EK"><xsl:value-of select="EK"/><aid:br/></EK>

                <Artikelnummer aid5:pstyle="Artikelnummer"><xsl:value-of select="Artikelnummer"/><aid:br/></Artikelnummer>
</Text>
Could anyone point me to the right direction? Any help is very welcome. Thank you for your help.

Sorry, my last example was the xsl instead of the xml. Here is the xml I got. I want to pull the Root/Artikel/Text Tag to a frame and all Child tags within should be formated with the corresponding pstyles.
But it looks like as if Indesign just does not tranform the aid5 style upon xml/xlst import. The <aid:br> tags you see are just a try of myself to get the tags within the Text tag separated as paragraph.
But Indesign just interprets them as normal tags and also shows them in the structure pane.
Thank you very much for your help. I also tried to format the text with the paragraph styles by hand and export the whole thing as xml from Indesign. But Indesign just the xml the same way I imported it. The same happens when I manually create a xml structure in Indesign, assign the styles to the text within the frame. Indesign just exports the raw xml structure. But no style declarations. So I can't see how to format the tags the right way.
This is how my xml looks like when I import it with the upper xsl.

[JS or AS] Applying Paragraph Styles.

Hi,
I have a JavaScript From Dave Saunders. Which Takes a list of all Para and Character styles from an InDesign File and make a .txt file.
Which works great.
So because I don't understand JavaScript and Very Basic Applescript.
I have made a basic AppleScript which Creates a Document and place the .txt file which the JavaScript created.
I know how to apply a Paragraph Style in AppleScript using the
set applied paragraph style of paragraph 1 to ParaName
My problem is I don't know how I can match and apply Paragraphs Styles and Character styles from the list generated from the .txt file to the corresponding Paragraph and Character styles in InDesign?
Obviously if it could be all done Via JavaScript then yeah, otherwise AppeScript all do as well.
Any help or ideas would be great.

Thanks Shane
Oh I didn't think I had to set myStory to anything as it's the only story, so I thought it's would automacticly make it the parent story...learn something new...
I also forgot to import the Paragraph Style into the new document which I've fixed,
but It falls over at the set applied paragraph line.
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
     --Pick file to import styles from
     set myFilePath to (choose file)
     --Create a new document.
     set mydoc to make document
     tell mydoc
          import styles format text styles format from myFilePath
     end tell
     tell page 1 of document 1
          set newFrame to make new text frame with properties {geometric bounds:{1, 1, 275, 210}}
          -- this line below will let me choose which file to place, in this case it's called MyDocumentStyles.txt which the Javascript made
          place (choose file) on newFrame
          set myStory to parent story of newFrame
          repeat with i from 1 to count of paragraphs of myStory
               set thisStyleName to contents of paragraph i of myStory
               if last character of thisStyleName = return then
                    set thisStyleName to text 1 thru -2 of thisStyleName
               end if
               set applied paragraph style of paragraph i of myStory to paragraph style thisStyleName
          end repeat
     end tell
end tell

Find.text Then apply Paragraph.Style

Hi Everyone,
Is that possible we find the text then apply the paragraph style every find text.
We find [CN] then apply paragraph style "Chap_Num", Find next [CT] apply PS "Chap_TTL" Find next [COX1] apply PS "Chap_Para".
Any trick find and apply para style one time.
Thank you! I appreciate your help and explanation Adv.

@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…

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.

Apply a paragraph style to XML elements that have a specific attribute

1) I'm an almost complete noob when it comes to XML
2) I have an XML with a ssstructure like this:
<chapter>
     <paragraph> bla bla </paragraph>
     <paragraph> bla bla </paragraph>
     <list type="disk">
          <listitem>
               <paragraph> bla bla </paragraph>
               <paragraph> bla bla </paragraph>
          </listitem>
          <listitem>
               <paragraph> bla bla </paragraph>
               <paragraph> bla bla </paragraph>
          </listitem>
          <listitem>
               <paragraph> bla bla </paragraph>
               <paragraph> bla bla </paragraph>
          </listitem>
     </list>
     <list type="square">
          <listitem>
               <paragraph> bla bla </paragraph>
               <paragraph> bla bla </paragraph>
          </listitem>
          <listitem>
               <paragraph> bla bla </paragraph>
               <paragraph> bla bla </paragraph>
          </listitem>
          <listitem>
               <paragraph> bla bla </paragraph>
               <paragraph> bla bla </paragraph>
          </listitem>
     </list>
</chapter>
Is there a easyer way (except iterating all the xmlElements) to find all the lists and apply the appropriate paragraph style (i have a "list_with_disk" paragraphstyle, and a "list_with_square" one)?

Hi Vamitul,
Please try the below JS code.
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
//____________________ disk bullet style apply
try{
    var rootElement = myDoc.xmlElements.item(0);
    var linkElementList = rootElement.evaluateXPathExpression("//list[@type='disk']//paragraph");
    for(i=linkElementList.length-1; i>=0; i--){
        var myAttribute = linkElementList[i];
        myAttribute.xmlContent.appliedParagraphStyle = myDoc.paragraphStyles.itemByName("Disk");
    }catch(e){}
//____________________ Squar bullet style apply
try{
    var rootElement = myDoc.xmlElements.item(0);
    var linkElementList = rootElement.evaluateXPathExpression("//list[@type='square']//paragraph");
    for(i=linkElementList.length-1; i>=0; i--){
        var myAttribute = linkElementList[i];
        myAttribute.xmlContent.appliedParagraphStyle = myDoc.paragraphStyles.itemByName("Square");
    }catch(e){}

Applying paragraph styles to placed text

I have a catalog document built with with master pages and paragraph styles. The layout has a grid of image boxes for product with a text box beneath for descriptions. The text boxes should have style 1 applied to the 1st line, and style 2 applied to the following lines. Style 1 is applied to the text boxes in the master, and has next style set to style 2 in the paragraph style settings. This works fine when typing directly in the document, but I am placing the text from a word document. When I place the text, InDesign is just applying the default text settings instead of the correct styles. Is there a way to get it to automatially apply the correct styles, or will I need to manually set the styles?
Using CS5
thanks,
Katie

Part of your answer is very easy: after you've placed your text, select a few paragraphs, and then right-click on "style 1" and select "Apply Style, Then Next Style." That's how to use "Next Style" on text that you've placed.
The other part of your question -
When I place the text, InDesign is just applying the default text settings instead of the correct styles. Is there a way to get it to automatially apply the correct styles, or will I need to manually set the styles?
is a fair bit more complicated. If you're placing Word files, and all of the text in Word is styled with "Normal," then you'd probably need to manually set styles. If the text is in Word, but is styled carefully, then you can click the "Import Options" checkbox upon placing, and you can do all kinds of things to the file, including stripping all Word formatting & mapping Word styles to InDesign styles. If you have text in some other format, it may be possible to automate styling, but it depends completely on what you have to place. Raw text with XML tags? CSV files? RTFs generated by a translation memory tool? If you can post example files or screenshots, we may be able to figure out a way to smooth out this part of your workflow, depending on the materials with which you're working.

How can i find and replace xml tags?

Hi, i am using xml in my workflow and want to be able to remove certain tags if they contain particular text.
here is an example of my xml structure…
<entry>
    <name>DEFAULT</name>
    <tel>DEFAULT</tel>
    <address>DEFAULT</address>
</entry>
I am using this initial structure to set the paragraph styles to be followed when the xml data is imported.
This leaves DEFAULT in place wherever an entry doesn't have any content for that field.
I want to be able to import my XML then run a script that removes any tags that include DEFAULT, - I need the entire xml tag to be removed not just the text, if i do a normal find and replace it will only remove the text not the tags which is causing problems with styling. I also want to remove the end of para/return (^p) that i've placed at the end of the line. So it would be the same as opening up story editor and removing the content + tags + hard return in there, but i want to automate the process…
So i think this is what i need to search for in each case
"<name>DEFAULT</name>^p"
and i want to replace it with nothing ""
Can this be done through scripting (ideally javascript)?
I have a little knowledge of javascript but am not sure how to search and target that kind of string in indesign...
using indesign cs5
many thanks

Hi,
Script should do it in two steps:
1. find all occurences of i.e. ">DEFAULT<"
2. remove whole paragraph which is a found_text's container.
For example this way -JS - (a textFrame filled with your text should be selected) :
var mStory = app.selection[0].parentStory;
app.findTextPreferences = null;
app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = ">DEFAULT<";
var myF = mStory.findText();
var count = myF.length;
while (count--)
     myF[count].paragraphs[0].remove();

Reg.Apply paragraph style

Hi All,
Can you please anybody help me that how to apply the paragraph style which is available in Indesign with case insensitive in find/change grep options.
I have tried with below code but the style applying only with case sensitive.
          myStyleName = myString.substring(1, myString.length-1);
            if(myDocument.paragraphStyles.item(myStyleName) == "[object ParagraphStyle]")

                app.changeTextPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = myStyle;
                myDocument.changeText();
                app.changeTextPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
                app.changeTextPreferences.changeTo = "";
                myDocument.changeText();
                app.changeTextPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
Please help me to figure out this issue.

Hi Jarek,
Thank you for your reply. Actually I need to find the style name with tag from activeDocument.
For eq. if <lrh> or <LRH> found in activeDocument then find the "lrh" style available in Indesign and apply.
Here is my full code. Please look into it.
var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
var myDocument = app.documents.item(0);
app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
app.findChangeTextOptions.caseSensitive = false;
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "(?i)^<\\s*\\w+\\s*>";
var myFoundItems = myDocument.findGrep();
if(myFoundItems.length != 0)
        var myFoundTags = new Array;
        for(var myCounter = 0; myCounter<myFoundItems.length; myCounter++)
            myFoundTags.push(myFoundItems[myCounter].contents);
        for(var i = 0; i < myFoundTags.length; i++)
            myString = myFoundTags[i];
            app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = myString;
            myStyleName = myString.substring(1, myString.length-1);
            if(myDocument.paragraphStyles.item(myStyleName) == "[object ParagraphStyle]")
                myStyle = myDocument.paragraphStyles.item(myStyleName);
                myName = myStyle.name;
                app.findChangeTextOptions.caseSensitive = false;
                app.findChangeTextOptions.includeFootnotes = false;
                app.findChangeTextOptions.includeHiddenLayers = false;
                app.findChangeTextOptions.includeLockedLayersForFind = false;
                app.findChangeTextOptions.includeLockedStoriesForFind = false;
                app.findChangeTextOptions.includeMasterPages = false;
                app.findChangeTextOptions.wholeWord = false;
                app.changeTextPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = myStyle;
                myDocument.changeText();
                app.changeTextPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
                app.changeTextPreferences.changeTo = "";
                myDocument.changeText();
                app.changeTextPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
But it is applying style only if "lrh" is present. It should be find case insensitive. please help me out.
Thank you.

Problem with footer in table style not applying paragraph style... or just me?

I'm having a niggling problem making a table style with cell/paragraph styles for the header, body, and footer respectively. I want to make it as simple as possible for other users but one thing keeps tripping me up. I'll try and describe with screenshots. I'm using InDesign CS5 on Windows 7.
I have a table style set up with cell styles for the header, body, and footer, and paragraph styles for each as well. Say I'm converting a list of generic text to this table:
i convert it to my table style. The body style is a numbered list:
I convert the header to an, err, Header. The cell applies the header paragraph style as I should expect:
I convert the footer likewise, but it maintains the Body text paragraph style as an override!
So naturally I clear the override and it works fine. But of course, I'd rather it acted like the header row. I can't work out where the override on the footer comes from and why it operates differently in this respect to the header row. There is nothing different about how the styles are constructed. Have I made a mistake somewhere, or is this correct behaviour I'm misinterpreting, or something...?
edit: Here is the file, if that will help:
