XML Import: Hide HTML?

When I import an XML file into text fields in InDesign the HTML markup tags get transfered (are not removed or rendered as an HTML section).
For instance when I import:
<article>
     <title>This is a title</title>
     <body>&lt;p&gt;This is a body paragraph.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is another paragraph&lt;/p&gt;</body>
</article>
OR
<article>
     <title>This is a title</title>
     <body><![CDATA[<p>This is a body paragraph.</p><p>This is another paragraph</p>]]></body>
</article>
The <p> tags still appear in the InDesign text boxes instead of being converted into InDesign paragraphs or stripped out entirely.
Is there a way to remove or hide the tags when they are imported in InDesign?

This is correct; those are not HTML tags, but literal characters < and > -- correctly encoded as "&lt;" and "&gt;" -- and then translated into their correct representations, which only happens to look like HTML.
<article>
     <title>This is a title</title>
     <body><![CDATA[<p>This is a body paragraph.</p><p>This is another paragraph</p>]]></body>
</article>
This is also correct. Any stuff inside a CDATA bracketed section should not be parsed as XML, so this is also plain text.

    None of the above works fine after importing xml to Indesign document/templete, it is not renderting equivalent out instead it is showing the same text inside tags in the Indesign document.
    I have lot of content in our database, I will export to XML, import to Indesign, Indesign should render required output like what we see in the browser and export the output to printed format.
    Import formated XML to indesign --> Export to Quality Print Format
    Can any one guide me and let me know whether it is posible to do with Indesign, if so let me know in case if I am missing anything in importing xml and get required output.
    Thanks in advance. Waiting for reply ASAP.

    Possibly your expectations are too high. ... Scratch that "possibly".
    XML, in general, cannot be "rendered". It's just an abstract data format. Compare it to common markup such as *asterisks* to indicate emphasized words -- e-mail clients will show this text in bold, but InDesign, and the vast majority of other software, does not.
    To "render" XML, HTML, MathML, or LaTeX -- you seem to freely mix these *very* different markup formats, unaware of the fact that they are vastly different from each other! -- in the format you "expect", you need to apply the appropriate software to each of  the original data files. None of these markup languages are supported natively by InDesign.

  • Insane XML Import, Huge Project, Duplicate file names work around...

    I planned on kicking off my journey attempting to edit a massive multi year documentary on FCPX with a nice introduction of the blog I'm going to keep about the experience, but I've run into a bit of a roadblock, or maybe major speed bump at least before even getting to that point. I wanted to share what is working as a work around for me and you guys can tell me how I'm doing it wrong.
    Ok, I will try to explain this as succinctly as possible. I'll write in somewhat stream of consciousness just to try and get through it quicker... Basically, after discovering the work around below, I am now utterly confused on how FCPX handles the relationship between its own database of where media is stored, and the actual media itself. I have plenty experience on FCPX now, probably done 30-40 pro commercial jobs on it over the last year since XML became doable as I'm also a Resolve Colorist and all the FCPX projects where hardcore coloring product spots. For commercial work, I never needed to worry about splitting up footage up over multiple Events. Everything, all in one, FCPX handled it no problem. (well the occasional beach ball, but that seems to be a thing with FCPX in general)
    This will be my 10th feature documentary as an Editor. Every one before it was either on Avid's many flavors over the last 12 years or FCP Studio. When this new film came along, I made the decision a few months ago to use FCPX for a few reasons, but mostly because I'm insane and I like to try to mix it up for myself in a career that can get stale quick if you aren't willing to be that way. The film was shot over 2+ years, every shoot was multi cam 5D (yes i know, looks great, but please kill me), I haven't done the math on length, but there is over 10,000 clips of video (this is actually medium in size compared to what I've dealt with before). Its 5D, so theres external audio for everything. FCPX's syncing is great, but I've learned that theres an unsaid window of heads and tales clips must fall within to sync properly with the nearby clips, if they are too far apart FCPX gives up. One shoot day could have 3 cams, 50 clips each, and 2 audio files to sync to, FCPX simply cannot handle this, so off to Plural eyes they went, no problems.
    Ok, all this is relevant eventually I swear! Again, in the past, all in one event, no problem. I tried for fun to bring all media into one Event on this film. It worked, but there is a 10+ second spinning beach ball for every single move you make, so thats no good. Ok, I'll separate the Events out to, lets say, each shoot month. Well that's dumb, in verite documentary, any shot could be the first, any shot could be the last, you need a command over all searchable footage at all times. Shift selecting all events to search *****, and it actually takes longer for FCP to reload each event each time than it does to just have the one massive one. So no go there. Next hair brained idea... What if make a new Event that is just Compound Clips of all the other Event's contents and do more with Markers and Favorites in logging that I was planning to parse it all out. That way I'm working with and FCPX is dealing with 50-60 clips instead of 10,000+ Quick test, Cmd-A, Opt-G, boom, boom, boom, move all to dedicated to Event, hide huge Event, BEHOLD, that works! FCPX chokes a little bit on the insane length of some of the clips, but searching, and general performance is back on par!
    So your saying to yourself "Ok *********, sounds like you figured it out, what's the problem." Well to you I say, "Not so fast!" Remember, that was just a quick test using the media I had imported into the massive 10,000+ clip Event. To do this project proper, I am having to import Multicam sync'd XMLs from Plural Eyes. And this is where it all starts to fall apart. A little foreshadowing for your eager eyes. 10,000+ files all shot with multiple 5D's over the course of years. What does that mean? many, many duplicate file names!
    FCPX as well all know irritatingly imports XML's as new Events, not into existing ones. This obviously takes a lot of burden off media management because with a new Event comes a new database referencing its own version of the raw media. All well and good, and I'm betting its starting to click for some if you advanced users where I'm finally going with this. So I have 50 or so XMLs to bring in, all done no problem. Now I want to replicate that singular Event like I did with the Compound Clip test and have it all in one place to be my master as extensive logging begins for easy searching once editing begins. Highlight the Events, click Merge Events. NOPE. I get a new "Kill Yourself Now" error (a term I coined for Out of Memory and General Error messages in FCP Legacy meaning there ain't much you can do about it): "Two or more files have the same name. Change the names and try again, because I don't know what the **** to do with them." Ok I made up that last part but that's basically what it's saying. Just take the variable out of the equation, this happens with every which way you could try to get the clips together. Merge Events, dragging events on top of each other, dragging just the Multicam clip alone, nothing gets passed that message. What's worse is that while Batch Renaming seems like a solution, the renames do not populate inside the created clips and there is no way to Batch Rename those. Renaming everything at the finder level isn't so great because then I'd have to resync and theres an offline/online thing going here where the film has to be reconformed eventually.
    Basically, I've found that FCPX handles media management in completely different ways depending on whether you are importing into one Event yourself or doing essentially what is a new import with FCPX moving or merging Events. If you bring in all the media to one Event, on a macro level FCPX goes through file by file making aliases referencing the master file. If it hits a duplicate, it makes a parenthesis counter, and keeps going. And with the genius of FCPX metadata, that file name doesn't even matter, you can change it at the Finder level and FCPX will keep the link intact. BUT for some reason if you try to do this outside the realm of a single Event and combine files after the fact a different process takes over in creating this database system and can't handle the duplicates. I can't totally figure the reason other than it probably is scared to change the originally referenced alias to something else (which it shouldn't be scared of since Merge Events deletes the original anyway).
    This is where it gets INSANE and where I lose all understanding of what is going on, and believe me it was a delicate understanding to begin with. It comes in to play with the work around I figured out. I make the master Event with the 10,000+ clips. Then I import all the XMLs as dedicated Events. Now, I then drag the Multicam clips into the master Event, it WORKS! just takes it, no "Kill Yourself Now" error. Stranger still, now with the switched referenced Event, it even takes into account which aliased duplicate file name it's referencing in the Original Media folder. Somehow, it's taking into account the original file path and saying "Ok, I see 5 instances of MVI_5834.mov. Based on the original file path or maybe creation date or god knows what, it must be MVI_5834 (fcp3).mov." It connects perfectly. I can even remove the old XML imported Event with no problem. Crazier yet, I can now move those again to the dedicated Event I wanted originally that only contains those Multicam or Compound Clips.
    So instead of going straight from A to C, going from A to B to C works even though that actually seems way more complicated. Why can't FCPX handle Merge Events and dragging clips the same way it handles media imported into a single Event. And weirder still, why can't FCPX handle the (fcp1,2,3...) appending in the same scenario. But if the appended links are already there, No Problem. And for the love of god, it'd be nice to important XML's into existing Events and make the correct referencing happen right from the get go, which is really the source of all the above headache. I'd have no problem helping FCPX with a little manual pointing in the right direction just like any other NLE needs.
    Ok, having said all of that crap above, my question is, have I missed something completely simple I should have done instead? Now that I have everything in place how I originally envisioned, I think I will still play around a little bit more to make sure FCPX is really going to be able to handle this project. I'm at a stage right now where going another direction is still an option, although the dare devil in me wants to make this work. Media management aside, once you start editing on a FCPX timeline, its hard to go back to anything else. Apple is going to have to figure out some way not to access to everything at all times to work fluidly or big projects like this are never going to be practical in FCPX.
    Sorry for the long confusing post....

    I'm having the exact same problem, but I know nothing of ruby scripts. I've exhausted my resources with tech support, and after literally hours of work with them it seems I now am faced with either re-rating each individual song, or pointing iTunes to each song that it can't locate. Is yours a solution that could help me? How can I find out more about Ruby Scripts? Thanks for your help, hellolylo (or anyone else who might also be able to help...)

  • Sending XML to an HTML page in AS3

    I'm working on an a Flex 3 application to generate XML to use in Fusion Charts Free.
    So that the user can preview the chart, I'm currently sending the XML to an HTML page with runs the chart SWF using navigateToURL with the XML appended to the query string. The HTML page captures the query string with Javascript and supplies the XML to the chart.
    <script type="text/javascript">
       var xmlstring = getParameterByName('xml');
       var chart = new FusionCharts("FCF_Column2D.swf", "ChartId", "900", "600");
       chart.setDataXML(xmlstring);   
       chart.render("chartdiv");
       function getParameterByName(name) {
            var match = RegExp('[?&]' + name + '=([^&]*)')
                         .exec(window.location.search);
            return match && decodeURIComponent(match[1].replace(/\+/g, ' ')); 
    </script>
    This works fine in Firefox but I have problems with IE - the maxium URL length limits the amount of data, and IE9 removes the query string if in protected mode, and also requires it to be URL encoded. I try to get round this with the actionscript below.
    var pageurl:String = chartpage + ".html";
    var appName:String = ExternalInterface.call( "function getAppName(){ return navigator.appName; }" );
    var agentName:String = ExternalInterface.call( "function getAppName(){ return navigator.userAgent; }" );
    var qs:String = qxml;
    // IE cannot cope with more than 2083 chars in URL
    // IE9 requires escaping and needs to be not in protected mode
    if (appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer")
       if (agentName.indexOf("MSIE 9") > -1)
        qs = encodeURI("?xml="+qxml);
        if (qs.length > 2000)
        Alert.show('Data is more than 2000 bytes, too much to pass to Internet Explorer on the query string. Choose less data or use a different browser.', 'Fusion Chart Generator', mx.controls.Alert.OK);
       else
        var urlRequestIE:URLRequest = new URLRequest(pageurl+qs);
        navigateToURL(urlRequestIE,"_blank");
    else
      var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(pageurl+"?xml="+qxml);
      navigateToURL(urlRequest,"_blank");
    Is there a better way of doing this?
    Thanks
    Richard

    It appears that I am still doing something wrong. I've attached the flash, but here is the code based on my understanding of how to update it:
    import flash.net.URLRequest;
    import flash.net.navigateToURL;
    dvds.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,navigate1);
    var nav1:String="http://bikepaparazzi.com"; navigate1(e:MouseEvent):void {
    function
    navigateToURL(new URLRequest(nav1),"_self");
    proconvention.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,navigate2);
    var nav2:String="http://proconvention.com"; navigate2(e:MouseEvent):void {
    function
    navigateToURL(new URLRequest(nav2),"_self");
    advertise.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,navigate3);
    var nav3:String="http://bikepaparazzi.com"; navigate3(e:MouseEvent):void {
    function
    navigateToURL(new URLRequest(nav3),"_self");
    tee.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,navigate4);
    var nav4:String="http://bikepaparazzi.com"; navigate4(e:MouseEvent):void {
    function
    navigateToURL(new URLRequest(nav4),"_self");
    proconvention.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,navigate5);
    var nav5:String="http://bikepaparazzi.com"; navigate5(e:MouseEvent):void {

  • My imported backup html files from another computer do not show up after import

    I am currently transferring files from my macbook pro to a pc netbook. I already exported my firefox bookmarks via an external drive and accessed the html file on my new netbook. After importing the html on firefox on my new netbook, the bookmarks do not show up on my bookmark list.

  • Can't import/open HTML files in Fireworks CS4

    I'm trying to import/open HTML files into Fireworks CS4 to do some redesigning. I inherited the job of redoing my companies website and we believe the person who created our website created the site using Dreamweaver 8. Unfortunatley that person moved on to a new job across the country and we can't ask him exactly how he created our website.
    When I try to open some of the HTML files in FW I get the message: "Could not open the file....Fireworks could not find an HTML table in this file". Next I tried creating a new, very simple HTML page in Dreamweaver CS4 that contains just a few lines of text and 1graphic (we just bought the CS4 web suite). Again, I get the same error.
    Other files give me a slightly different error message when trying to open them in FW, "The HTML document contains one or more images with absolute web addresses for the source. Fireworks cannot handle these images. --click OK-- (next error message) Could not open the file. Fireworks has encountered a problem with the HTML in this table. Verify that the HTML is valid"... and then it closes and nothing loads into FW. Bummer.
    I've searched on these forums and can't find any solutions to this problem although I found a few people experiencing the same problem.
    Do I need to do something to the Dreamweaver created HTML's to get them to open in FW? Any help would be appreciated.

    Fireworks is a graphics editor that can export code; it is not an HTML/code editor.
    If you have exported HTML from Fireworks, you ought to be able to re-import that, but I would think most people who use Fireworks exported code would just modify their Fireworks document and re-export. (Fireworks' code is not robust and it is only intended for mockups and prototypes. Fireworks is not intended for developing and maintaining live Web sites; Dreamweaver is.)
    If your developer used Dreamweaver, then I really don't expect that Fireworks would be able to import that, nor any code that isn't in exactly the format that it can export. If you know your developer used Fireworks, then you need to look for .png files. Fireworks uses an enhanced version of the PNG format for its native document format.
    If you are making small adjustments to your site, then you might be better off working in Dreamweaver. If you're doing a site re-design, then Fireworks is an excellent tool for laying out your design and producing your graphics, but you will, at some point, need to move over to Dreamweaver for coding.

  • How do I hide HTML hyperlink code in Blog comments?

    How do I hide HTML code for hyperlinks in blog commments? Here's the background:
    I happily and easily include text hyperlinks all over the place in my website, using iWeb. I can even do this when creating a new entry in my blog. In all cases, the actual HTML code is hidden, and the hyperlinked text is, as usual, in a different color (to indicate that it's a link).
    However, let's say someone leaves a comment to a blog entry, and I want to respond using the Comments box when I'm viewing the blog online, via Safari or IE or Firefox. And let's say I type a word that I want to also use as a hyperlink, that will take someone to another website.
    So far, the only way I've discovered to add hyperlinks in a Comment is to actually type the HTML command right in the Comments text box (then add my name, URL, type in the secret image verification code and click "Add Comment").
    When the new comment, with hyperlink, appears on the blog entry page, the hyperlink is active -- however, the entire HTML code also shows up. For example, here's what appears, on-screen, when I want someone to click "here" to get to my website landing page:
    Click (a href="http://www.davidalanmoore.com")here(/a) to go to my homepage.
    NOTE: I used parens instead of carats in the line, above, in order to show what actually happens in the real world... unfortunately, this forum is so well done that it actually read my carats, created a real hyperlink and hid the HTML -- which is what DOESN'T happen in the blog comments!
    How do I hide everything but the word "here," without losing the hyperlink?
    Thanks in advance!

    Yes, the http:// part does make it become a hyperlink, as in the example I noted in my question. That is, the hyperlink works... it's just that all of the HTML code that makes it a link is also visible.
    For example, take a look at the following sentence, that includes a hyperlink -- a hyperlink for which Apple's Discussion Forums automatically reads the HTML correctly, hides the code, and turns the text for the word "here" into a different-colored hyperlink:
    "Click here to go to the comments page where I'm having the problem."
    Now compare that hyperlink to the way a hyperlink actually appears in a "Comment." Click the word "here" in the sentence just above this one. You'll be sent to a blog entry on my website. If you look at the fourth comment on that page you'll see what iWeb does to a hyperlink: it creates link that works, but it also shows all the HTML code (e.g., "(a href="http//..... etc., etc.).
    I'm trying to make that code invisible in the Comments, as it is invisible on these discussion boards. (See two paragraphs above: a link, but no visible HTML code.)
    I'm not sure if I'm making sense... I'm just trying to be thorough so people don't accidentally waste their time answering a question I'm not asking. Bottom line, I don't want the HTML code visible, on-screen, when I create a hyperlink in a blog comment.

  • Error messages during XML import of Project Pro 2010 files

    Hi folks,
    I'm trying to diagnose a couple of sick Project Pro 2010 files loaded from Project Server by saving them locally as XML files and then reimporting (not connected to the server during import).  The anomalous behavior exhibited by both files
    is that one takes 15 minutes to load from the server, while another takes over 20 minutes. These are not typical load times for this server.  In both cases, Project consumes about 25% of the CPU during the load process. There's little network I/O
    while this goes on, and when externally linked schedules are loaded to the cache, they load very quickly.  Other than the long load times, the schedules appear to be behave normally, except for some very odd print preview behaviors in one of the schedules
    that I asked about in a different thread (among other things, the default print preview start date is 17 years after the default finish date, and the finish date is about 11 years before the schedule actually starts).
    The questions I'm asking here are about errors I see when I try to import the files exported as XML, and whether they might provide any clues as to what's causing the load time issues.
    When attempting to import one of the files saved as XML, a pop-up appears that says, "The actual finish date is before some of the previously entered timephased actual work values. If  you continue with this operation, Project will truncate
    some of the previously entered timephased actual work values. To continue, click OK..."
    When attempting to import the other file saved as XML, I get a series of pop-ups identifying a series of tasks that say, "The timephased edit will cause 'Develop Requirements Review Meeting Mi...' to start before 'Conduct Requirements Review"
    finishes.  As a result the task link cannot be honored.  You can: () Continue. Keep the timephased edit and ignore the link.  () Cancel. Ignore the timephased edit.  (OK/Cancel/Help)".
    Interestingly, both files contain external Project Server predecessor / successor links.  In the case of the first file, the XML import just appears to strip those out.  In the case of the second file, I get a long series of pop-ups (with
    some buggy text inserts) in pairs.  The first message in the pair is typically "An import error occurred.  The element <PredecessorLink> in the <Task> element with <UID>=611 has invalid data.  Verify that the file
    name and path are correct, and then try again. (OK)", where the indicated UID varies. The second pop-up in the pair appears to have a buggy text constructor and looks like this, with "[stet]" indicating the apparent buggy text inserts,
    "An import error occurred.  The element [stet] Verify that the file name and path are correct, and then try again. [stet] in the 309 element with <UID>=7 has invalid data. [stet] ^4 (OK)"
    In the second pop-up of the pair, the "xyz element" varies, but the "<UID>=7" reference and "^4"  are consistent. In the XML, UID 7 appears to refer to a calendar, a task which includes a number
    of entries similar to:
    <TimephasedData>
    <Type>24</Type>
    <UID>7</UID>
    <Start>2014-10-03T08:00:00</Start>
    <Finish>2014-10-04T08:00:00</Finish>
    <Unit>2</Unit>
    <Value>PT8H0M0S</Value>
    </TimephasedData>
    ... and to an assignment:
    <Assignment>
    <UID>7</UID>
    <TaskUID>10</TaskUID>
    <ResourceUID>-65535</ResourceUID>
    <PercentWorkComplete>100</PercentWorkComplete>
    which includes blocks like:
    <TimephasedData>
    <Type>2</Type>
    <UID>7</UID>
    <Start>2014-10-17T08:00:00</Start>
    <Finish>2014-10-17T17:00:00</Finish>
    <Unit>2</Unit>
    <Value>PT8H0M0S</Value>
    </TimephasedData>
    Eventually, the second file also does load with no external file links indicated.
    Again, I'm just looking for anything that might be a clue to the long Project Server load times.
    Thanks in advance,
    LP

    Slow performance can come from a number of different things. Without knowing more detailed information about your setup or workflow, it's difficult to accurately troubleshoot.
    -What kind of Mac are you using?
    -What is your source format?

  • XML import only creates one record at a time

    Hi All,
    I have an XML import map that automatically imports data into main product table. It's working fine when the XML file has only one main record. When it has more than one record, the import manager and import server can only import the last record in the file and skip the rest.
    I already checked the record matching tab. It correctly shows that all records will be created and 0 will be skipped. Even the log file indicates all records are created after I execute the map. Yet, when I try to look for them in the data manager, I can only find the last one. If I execute the map with the exact same file again, it will create one more record again and skip the rest.
    Someone else posted the same question a while back: Import map issue one record at a time. But it was never answered. Does anyone else have this issue? Is this a MDM bug?
    Thanks,
    Kenny

  • Upgrading to V4 has lost all of my Bookmarks, I still have the restore files in my profile data but they will not load, I have tried importing the html backup file too but it didn't work either. How can I get them back?

    Upgrading to V4 has lost all of my Bookmarks, I still have the restore files in my profile data but they will not load, I have tried importing the html backup file too but it didn't work either. How can I get them back?

    Ok this is bizzare!
    Thank you for your response, I went throught each and every step without any luck, even got the recovery programme, and painstakingly tried to sift through all that mumbojumbo to find what i needed. finally found the bookmark bit, but it had been fully overwritten :(, so on reading about previous ff versions, found the sqlite thingys, and they were relatively unscathed(partly written over, but saveable apparently TG), saved them to adiff drive, amongst other possibly good folders. Then looked up how to install them, and it said to close FF, and install to profile folder.
    So i tried to close FF, and the original problem from a few days ago, where it asked me if 'i was sure i wanted to close this window as it has X tabs open', popped up again. This is where 'open blank page' selection was set, over 'open previous tabs'. Wanting to save that info on how to sort out these friggin files, I reset the Option to 'open previous tabs', and closed FF. After unsucessfully searching for the profile folder on my laptop, i opened FF intending to search online for where i could find said folder.
    AND BANG, surprise surprise, the FF I had just closed with only tabs open about finding out what the heck to do, had disappeared, and instead my original saved tabs were up, and my bookmarks are there..... I am gobsmacked! what the heck just happened there???
    I have made 3 back up in different folders now, of those friggin bookmarks. I am weary now tho of shutting it all down.... what if its back to the other pages I had with no bookmarks, tomorrow :(

  • XML import - stopped due to "critical error"

    Hi all. For the moment, I'm still working with FCS1/FCP 5.1.4, OS 10.4.11.
    In the past, when I've needed to open a project I've started on other machines running 6.0.x, I've done an XML export, and imported said xml file into a new project on my machine. If I recall correctly, XML type 2 worked just fine.
    Well, it doesn't work now, and I'm wondering why?
    The machine I'm exporting from is running OS10.4.11, and FCP 6.0.3. I've exported the project out of there in all flavors of xml (1,2,3 and 4), with and without clip metadata. And I get nothing on import, bupkus, nada, zilch and zero...except for the oh-so-helpful message "XML import stopped due to critical error"
    So who broke this?

    I've had this happen to me when the original project contained sequences that used filters not supported by 5.1.4.
    My solution was to strip out suspect filters until it worked.
    Best,
    Tom

  • [CS2][AS] Make XML import map is calling a refresh on styles?

    If this can be of use to someone else... it's probably not CS2,AS specific.. but this is what i use.
    It's the second time i have a bug like this, where changing the order of my calls is fixing the problem. With this one, i was getting random missing font error (times(1)) while batching documents(wich make the batch script batch crash as there is a modal dialog open). Not always on the same document, it was really fustrating as i was not able to get my finger on the problem!
    I actually knew the source of the problem as i had added a fix (maybe not the best solution, but it was working well) that actually was removing the style from all the text frame (i noticed that using map style to tag was not always working well(when text frame had overriden?), so that's why i added code to reset the style before doing a map. But i was not understanding why it was happening so randomly...
    I tought at first it was happening during save (as it reopen the document) but after a few experimentation it looked like it was occuring during the import map redefinition (See code below: make XML import map with properties {markup tag:tStyle, mapped style:tStyle}).
    Looks like the make XML import is calling some sort of document refresh wich then pop the font missing dialog (even with never interact as script preferences!)! (missing font is actually a bug i had also in other circumstances.. exemple when you have a extra return at the end of a tagged text (outside the tag)). A bit unexpected, i really tought that creating a xml import map was just creating data structure in document model to be used later on by the auto style call...
    The problematic script:
    tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
    set myDocument to document 1
    tell myDocument
    --Reset styles.
    set applied character style of every text of every text frame of every spread to character style 1
    set applied paragraph style of every text of every text frame of every spread to paragraph style 1
    --Create a tag to style mapping.
    set tList to name of every XML tag
    set tNumItems to count of tList
    repeat with i from 1 to tNumItems
    set tStyle to item i of tList
    make XML import map with properties {markup tag:tStyle, mapped style:tStyle}
    end repeat
    --Map the XML tags to the defined styles.
    auto style
    end tell
    end tell
    And the working solution (just moved the reset of style after the import map creation loop):
    tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
    set myDocument to document 1
    tell myDocument
    --Create a tag to style mapping.
    set tList to name of every XML tag
    set tNumItems to count of tList
    repeat with i from 1 to tNumItems
    set tStyle to item i of tList
    make XML import map with properties {markup tag:tStyle, mapped style:tStyle}
    end repeat
    --Reset styles.
    set applied character style of every text of every text frame of every spread to character style 1
    set applied paragraph style of every text of every text frame of every spread to paragraph style 1
    --Map the XML tags to the defined styles.
    auto style
    end tell
    end tell

    it doesnt print any server control message. in my "page_404.jsp" I am printing current date and time (to check if the server visited that page) everytime when i refresh "index.jsp" the server goes to "page_404.jsp" and prints the current date and time.
    so basically the only message which the console shows is the current date/time which i am printing in the "page_404.jsp"
    Thanks.

  • Layout Problem in XML Import

    Dear All,
    I am new in InDesign. I have some problem. I am using InDesign CS3. I want when XML file will be import layout should be come according to our specification with image. Is it possible any script or XSLT. If yes please give me some guiduence.
    I have done XML to Tagged Text using XSLT. But i want to go through XML Import options.
    Anyone please help me...
    Thanks and Regards,

    If possible, purchase a copy of A Designer's Guide to Adobe InDesign and XML: Harness the Power of XML to Automate your Print and Web Workflows.
    This book will answer most questions you might have about using XML with InDesign.
    For a short answer, you need to first create styles, then map them to the tags, then import the XML. I will send you an example via email (the author emailed me directly).
    Best regards,
    Tad
