Map Tags to Style Pallet Issue

When in the 'Map Tags to Style' pallet I can't scroll by either moving the scroll bar or clicking up/down arrows. Also the only way to select a style sheet is to click exactly on the paragraph icon. The scrolling is driving me crazy, anyone else have this issue in this pallet in ID CC (using ID from cloud and all updates have been run)?

Hi,
Thanks for sharing the document. I tried with your file and scrolling is working fine. I could choose and select the styles also.
Did the bug happen after importing XML or before as well?
Do you have other documents open while you are working on this document?
Did you try cleaning your preferences and cache? If not, you can give this a try and let me know if the problem still remains.

Js for Structure; XML; Map Tags to Styles...

Hi all
I am trying this forum entry again under a different heading. I may have confused readers.
I have a ID file that contains XML content and lots of Character and Paragraph Styles.
There is a map that connects Tags <-> Styles.
This file is working fine. This file is now my "Template File"
I have written a script that imports XML content of the same kind into a new file.
The script also imports or loads all the Character and Paragraph Styles from the "Template File" into the "New File".
Now I would like to import the maping between Tags <-> Styles into my "New File".
Manually this is an easy process in ID, in the Structure pane, top right corner, is a pulldown, one of the commands is called "Map Tags to Styles..."
I load the map and my "New File" looks perfect.
I would now like to include this function into my script.
So far I could not find any code samples for this.
Can anybody help?
Thanks Romano

Thank you Fred
No this imports the Tags only...
what I am looking for is this:
My script needs to "call this menu, press the Load... button, choose a file, import from that file"
It would be some simple thing like loading the colour swatches from another file...
app.activeDocument.loadSwatches(myStyleFile);
but would say something like app.activeDocument."loadTagsStylesMap"(myStyleFile);

Map tags to styles (CS6, Applescript)

I want to map a series of tags to styles in InDesign, but this seems not to work.
The inverse, mapping styles to tags, works!
Any idea? Thanks for your help!

          tell active document
make XML export map with properties {markup tag:"Header", mapped style:"Header"}
map XML tags to styles

        -- XML tag to style mapping by name.
        repeat with j from 1 to tNumItems
            set tStyle to item j of tList

Map tags to style problem.

Hello!
I have a problem with indesign that i cannot understand. On the picture below, you can see my structure. PARAGRAPH is the tag of the text frame. Inside the text frame i have tagged the text. The things that should be paragraph style 1 (bröd) is tagged "PARAGRAPH1". The things that should be paragraph style 2 (bröd_start) is tagged "PARAGRAPH2".
I use map tags to style to map the different tags to a specific style. It looks like this:
When I run the cursor over the text I can see the tags changing to the correct one in the tags panel. But the paragraph style is always "Bröd". It seems as if the tags to style is not applied!
The reason that I want to to this is so I can manage first lines better. I map the first word of a "new" line to "Bröd_Start" so that the first line is aligned flush left. Like this:
Anyone has any ideas why this is not working like it should?!
Tank you!

Lukas

Map styles to tags v. Map tags to styles

Hi everyone,
Indesign CS4 has an option in the tags panel to:
1) Map styles to tags
and
2) Map tags to styles
Does anyone know what the difference between these two options are?
Appreciate any help.

Tags and Styles serve two separate functions.
A Tag defines data that belongs to a specific element and is enclosed with an opening and closing tag.
example: <element> This copy will be used for a headline </element>
A Style defines how that data will appear with specific attributes: font, font size, color, etc.
So, say I have an Indesign document that has a predefined paragraph style named: Headline (with attributes of Times New Roman Bold, 18 Point) and I import a file that is tagged like my example. I can map the tag "element" to the style "Headline" and the import can automate the process like this:
This copy will be used for a headline

[CS2][JS] Map tags to styles

Hi
I would like to map styles to tags and map tags to styles using a predefined file....
I've tried using ...
var thepath="/Volumes/test/Mapping.indd";
var myImportfile=new File(thepath);
app.activeDocument.xmlImportMaps.add(myImportfile);
app.activeDocument.xmlExportMaps.add(myImportfile);
... but it raises an error... missing parameter...
Does anyone have an idea?
Thanx
Tim

Hi Eric,
I just checked the link, and it's working fine. Try again?
Also, I'd missed this thread earlier--what Tim is asking about (loading a tag to style mapping from a file) can't be done directly in the user interface (as far as I can tell), so it can't be done directly from scripting. Instead, you'd have to open the file containing the tag to style mapping, then transfer the mapping one import/export map at a time to the target file.
Thanks,
Ole

Problem Mapping Tags to Styles in CS2

Hello, I am running CS2 (V4.0.5) on XP SP2. I have XML-tagged text that I am mapping to styles/map by name. While the paragraph styles apply correctly, character style sheets that shouldn't apply are being applied as well. I have replicated this multiple times.

Hi,
Can you provide some text examples from your xml file. This because to identify the concern in the xml coding.

Map by name, Tags to Styles

In JavaScript, I can map Styles to Tags using autoTag but how do I map Tags to Styles by name?

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.

Map tags to object styles?

Hello ID users & developers!
Well, now i know that tags from imported xml can be mapped to corresponding paragraph or table styles of ID document.
But, if i have to map any tag to an object style?
I import images with <Image href='image_path' /> tag.
Now, how can i bind it to Image object style?
Thanks in advance, Alex.

It does not.
It would be nice though some day.

Does Acrobat Pro 9 support "page-break-before" CSS tag? ie Pagination issues

Hey there
Converting a whole stack of html files to PDF and having some pagination issues. Titles not staying with images and tables getting chopped in half by page breaks etc.
Thought i could solve it by using carefully placed "page-break-before:always" tags where i wanted the page break. Works as expected in Safari when i go to print but not when i "File:Create PDF: From File" in Acrobat Pro. They get ignored.
Here's how they should work:
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/page.html#x3
This is a major hassle. I've got over 600 webpages to convert to PDF's and manually entering <br> to force items onto the next page is getting old.
Here's some sample html, paste it into a file, save, open it in Safari and then go to print. It should print 7 pages. Open it in Acrobat Pro 9.1.0 and you get one page.
<body>
test0
<p style="page-break-before: always">
test
<p style="page-break-before: always">
test1
<p style="page-break-before: always">
test2
<p style="page-break-before: always">
test3
<p style="page-break-before: always">
test4
<p style="page-break-before: always">
</body>
The really nice thing is this would be so useful. You can attach the tag (page-break-before:avoid) to a Caption style and always be assured that it will stay with a following graphic when you print the webpage. Or use it to make sure a table doesn't get cut in half.

Any hints would be great

Nope. Did the </br> thing.
Cost me some serious cash. Very annoying.
I haven't tried it with Safari 5. Acrobat allowed me set page margins, something that Safari 4 didn't allow (didn't support margin css tags). But acrobat didn't support the pagination and Safari 4 did.
Like i said annoying
I'll see if Safari 5 supports the print margins css tags.
I'll prob get asked to do this again so would like to sort it out

Style sheet issue

Hi Friends,
I want to Broadcast a webtemplate by Email.. I used Independent HTML output functions... it didnot work properly.. that means it worked separately without combined the style sheets.. and I used the Style sheets coding directly in the HTML tag, it worked correctly... I could not know why it was happened....
that means a reference link did not work, the coding where in the reference link's path is worked well...
now I need how to broadcast the webtemplate by Email using the reference link
<link href="/sap/bw/Mime/BEx/StyleSheets/Chrome_BWReports_ie6.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
guide and help me....
Thanks in Advance,
Jaya

Hi,
Since you are planning to send it via email, I would suggest that you use the full URL. Please note that the one you have used is a Relative URL path.
<link href="/sap/bw/Mime/BEx/StyleSheets/Chrome_BWReports_ie6.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
Full URL path will look something like
<link href="http://mySAPServer.com/sap/bw/Mime/BEx/StyleSheets/Chrome_BWReports_ie6.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
where mySAPServer.com is your SAP Web Server address.
Also the path might be case sensitive. So take care of that.
Using the full URL path will solve your problem.
Only issue is that, if you are using full URL, you have to update the server address in your templates in Dev/Qual/Prod to reflect the correct web server address

Style sheete issue

I'm having a small issue with div tags in on my jsp. Has anyone seen this or can anyone tell me what is wrong.
I just have two div tags in my style sheet as follows.
.OmniIframeWrapper
     background-color:#F2F0E6;
     width:98%;
     overflow:auto;
     border:1px solid black;
.OmniIframeContent
     background-color:#F2F0E6;
     width:100%;
     margin:5px;
     padding: 5px;
}then I nest those on my jsp to create a scrolling area for my data. In IE this works just fine. But in firefox the bottom scrollbar is always on. Even if the content of the inner div tag is only an empty table.
<DIV class="OmniIframeWrapper" style="height: 450">
          <DIV class="OmniIframeContent"><table><tr><td>test data</td></tr></table></DIV>
          </DIV>

I've change the size of the inner div tag to 99% instead of 100% . This does fix the problem.. but I don't like the fact that FF handles it the way it does.

How Do I change the Order of Styles in the Styles Pallet?

I have gone through quite a number of pre-made styles and made a few of my own styles.
I have a pallet with about 30 styles that I use the most. How do I rearrange them so those that I use the most appear at the top of the pallet?
I am using Photoshop CS4 Extended.
Thanks

It appears impossible to move them around, even as text-only entries, so either remove all the ones you don't use, or create your own panel of styles using the Configurator utility.

Someone may come up with a better idea.
EDIT: Just saw Zeno's idea.
