Xml to indesign workflow question - the best xml editor or doc creator

My department is considering the switch from our team members working directly in InDesign to a process where their work is imported to InDesign as xml content, then formatted automatically.
Does anyone with relevant experience have ideas as to the best programs to create the xml documents in? Framemaker seems like a canidate, however, I am wondering about open source or other options.
Thank you

You probably want to look at InDesign's Data Merge feature.
Unfortunately it won't accept XML directly, so you'll have to convert your XML to CSV or TSV. But that's pretty easy to do.

  • The best Latex Editor for MAC

    What is the best Latex editor for Mac ? I'm looking for a suitable alternative to MacTex - either Commercial or freeware.

    andy8,
    there are quite a few “integrated” solutions, combining editor and pdf preview (the very fine TeXShop being one of them) -- some of them are quite new (even beta); TeXShop, on the other hand, is very mature:
    TeXPad:
    http://vallettaventures.com/texpad
    Latexian:
    http://tacosw.com/latexian/
    TeXnicle:
    http://www.bobsoft-mac.de/texnicle/texnicle.html
    Scribo:
    http://www.scriboapp.com/
    Texmaker (cross-platform, qt-based; all the others are OS X native):
    http://www.xm1math.net/texmaker/index.html
    You can also check the entries, and the comments, on Macupdate:
    http://www.macupdate.com/find/mac/latex
    That said, I use none of them, although I have TeXShop around. (This doesn’t mean the new integrated solutions aren’t any good; I haven’t tried them yet.)
    That’s because what’s most important, imho, in a good LaTeX environment is the editor, i.e., how much help is there to get the source written. Accordingly, many people would agree that the best editor available plus a fine synchronised, but stand-alone pdf viewer is superior than a (compromising, or so the musing goes) all-in-one tool.
    The, hands-down, best pdf viewer, supporting PDFSync (syncing source and pdf), is Skim; it’s free:
    http://skim-app.sourceforge.net/
    As regards the best editor, there is constant disagreement among OS X users, some would even say “war” -- but that just shows how vivid the Mac ecosphere is when it comes to such tools.
    Leaving the “classics” aside, Emacs (Aquamacs, http://aquamacs.org/) and Vim (Macvim, http://code.google.com/p/macvim/), dreaded for their learning curve, worshipped for their power, two of the best, modern, clean, yet powerful editors are TextMate and Sublime Text 2:
    http://macromates.com/
    helpful: http://www.astrobetter.com/how-and-why-to-use-textmate-for-latex/
    http://www.sublimetext.com/2
    helpful: http://tekonomist.wordpress.com/2011/03/25/the-in-progress-latex-plugin-for-subl ime-text-2-4/
    Many would hold that the combination of either TextMate (2) or Sublime Text 2 together with Skim provides the best LaTeX environment ever.
    Take care.

  • What's the best XML for JAVA?

    Hi There,
    My big question is what should I use for develop a normal XML document, that can:
    - contain BASE64 strings
    - support UTF-8 add attributes, etc.
    I then want to pick this document and:
    - do it's parsing (walk trough)
    - apply a xsl to this document.
    I've made this in C using libxml2 for WIN32/HP-UX, and also in VB using msxml4, now I must make the same document in Java, I see a lot of alternatives but really don't know what to choose...
    In these languages I pick a structure that we support (similar to a tree) and serialize it to XML, send it as a string and then rebuild the initial structure with flaws. Each client can have a xsl file to show the information in the way he wants to.
    So, I ask your opinion what's the best for JAVA (a fast learning curve is preferable, but speed of processing is very, very important)?
    Thanks in advance for all the replies,
    Lu�s Pinho

  • Query on sorting  XML using XSLT and getting the same XML as output !

    Hi,
    Looking for one information regarding sorting XML using XSLT , with the sorted XML as output. For eg. my XML is :
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="sort1.xsl"?>
    <levelone>
         <child ID="1" sort="5">
              <name>Paul</name>
         </child>
         <child ID="2" sort="1">
              <name>Adam</name>
         </child>
         <child ID="3" sort="2">
              <name>Will</name>
         </child>
    </levelone>
    and XSL :
    <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
    <xsl:template match="/levelone">
         <xsl:copy>
         <xsl:apply-templates>
              <xsl:sort select="@sort"/>
         </xsl:apply-templates>
              </xsl:copy>
         </xsl:template>
         <xsl:template match="child">
              <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
         </xsl:template>
    </xsl:stylesheet>
    This does the sort based on Name. But I want to get the same xml as output with the name sorted. Eg.
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="sort1.xsl"?>
    <levelone>
         <child ID="2" sort="1">
              <name>Adam</name>
         </child>
         <child ID="1" sort="5">
              <name>Paul</name>
         </child>
         <child ID="3" sort="2">
              <name>Will</name>
         </child>
    </levelone>
    Any pointers will be highly appreciated.
    - Thanks

    Don't you want <xsl:sort select="name"/> rather than <xsl:sort select="@sort"/>?

  • Mastering Question:  The Best Limiter:  Final Limitation:

    this is probably a stupid question but I though I ask anyway.
    when your final mix is done and you want to bring everything up to the light "just before the red' which plugin is best for this?
    After playing around with all of logics limiters I am yet to find one that does exactly this without hurting sound quality.
    anyone?

    the best limiter is the one you can't hear working.
    i've tried most of the available, and for the most
    part, would never depend on any.
    a least do a mix without any for reference.
    there's a certain skill in NOT having to depend on
    such devices.
    best, david r.
    Sounds good (the answer and probably your results), but there is one reason that might vindicate the use of a limiter anyway.
    Even when you balanced everything out to keep the whole song within the desired dynamic boundaries, there is no guaranty that under no circumstances some peak values can add up to unallowable levels since you don't have full control over all phase correlations between your tracks (or the voices of virtual instruments or the delay lines of certain effects). You can run (or bounce) a song several times and you will end up with several different overall peak levels. When recording on tape, the magnetic saturation will swallow such things, but in a digital system a limiter can help you out here.
    So to me the best way seems to set all levels properly that no limiter is needed - and then to use it anyway for the worst case and hope it will never step in.

  • What is the best way to share docs

  • What's the best XML parser for J2ME

    Hello,
    has anybody a suggestione about a light and (hopefully) performant opern source XML parser library to use in a J2ME application?
    I'm going to explore Xparse-J and Kxml: Is there anything better?
    Thank you,
    Andrea

    kXML is the most important and popularly use XML parser for KVM. This is a combination of pull parser and the XMLWriter. It coantains a WAP Binary XML and a special kDOM.
    NanoXML is another parser for KVM, which works on push-parsing technology. Now it is not very popular.

  • InDesign workflow question for longer document (book)

    I'm new to Indesign and have read through the help topics and searched around but I can't seem to find an exact answer... I may be phrasing my question wrong.
    I have a complete book in basic text (txt). What is the desired (or best in your experience) way to start work. In my mind I want to import the text as a whole, populate all pages, then I want to come back and format chapters and add images.
    Everything I try doesn't support my idea (I am new to this software and I may just be approaching this incorrectly.) I also come from a different background and a different tool set so any advise would help.

    To elaborate on Simon's answer, this is my workflow for straight-on books:
    - Make a basic set of Master pages. You will need at least a single set with page numbering and, optionally, headings.
    - Load all text. You will get lots and lots of pages, because it's still unformatted, but that's okay.
    - I usually cut off front matter and put each item on a page of its own, so tiddling with it won't cause reflow of the entire document. You will need at least a title page and a reverse; "proper" books have a minor title page, a (c) page, a proper title page, and a blank. (Grab any one from your bookshelf that you like and copy its layout for these.) My first "true" flowing page is the first page of chapter 1. Remember to insert 2 pages (or perhaps more -- an even number) for a table of contents.
    - Go through the main text from first to last page, applying basic formatting, paragraphs, subtitles, etc. -- the plain text works. Make and use paragraph styles for each unique format -- do not (or at least as possible!) apply local formatting. Use character styles for italics and bold in plain text.
    - Go through the main text again, applying formatting to each new chapter. Insert page breaks (Odd Page Breaks for right-hand starting chapters) where appropriate. If you use Odd Page Breaks, insert them before
    i every
    new chapter (or use the "Break On Odd Page" Keep Option) -- i.e., not just when you seem to need one. It will change if you reformat or add picchers.
    - Go through your text
    i again,
    this time adding all pictures, tables, etc. You can do the previous steps in any order you like, but this one must be done from front to back. If you have right hand chapters and the one before it has no text, make that one completely blank (i.e., remove header & page numbering).
    - Tidy up the front matter and generate the contents.
    - Remove the extra blanks at the end. These were the overspill from the plain text import.
    - Sit back 'cause you're done!
    As you see, your own ideas weren't bad at all.

  • Bridge, Lightroom, InDesign workflow question

    Hey everyone,
    I've been using Adobe InDesign CS5 and Apple's Aperture software together (on a Mac) to do design projects over the past year and a half or so. I'd never been that interested in Adobe's other applications until recently, when I got a Creative Cloud membership, and now am reveling in the bounty of creative possibilities. Recently i've been interested in integrating Bridge into my workflow and transitioning away from Aperture to Lightroom (as i imagine many other people are considering/in the process of doing right now). I've been taking some video tutorials on Lynda.com and recently came across Terry White's "Bridge CC vs. Lightroom" youtube screencast (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vd8XLYG8A0s#t=20). While I really appreciated Terry's perspectives and find them helpful, I think he polarized the "Design" (Bridge) and "Photography" (Lightroom) paradigms that he used to distinguish the programs: Bridge is a file browser for working numerous file types across creative cloud applications, whereas Lightroom is a tool for photographers to do powerful non-destructive edits.
    Part of what I've liked about using Aperture with InDesign is that (however buggy this feature is) I can directly access my Aperture library from within the OS X open dialog box, thus allowing me to use files that i've edited and keeping all my work in one library. However, from what i've learned so far, and what Terry's video didn't (directly) address is what are some good practices for using edited photographs within an application such as InDesign. It seemed in the video he simply exported image files from Lightroom into folders, and then I suppose you could use mini-bridge to browse that folder. But i'm wondering if there isn't a better or simpler way to do this, and I'm wondering if i could solicit opinions from folks as to how they work between Everything i've tried to do in my workflow is minimize steps and keep track of the proliferation of images i work with. As much as I see that Lightroom is a better maintained tool than Aperture, it sure is nice to be able to directly access those image files from within InDesign…
    Very new to all of this. Thanks in advance for everyone's help.

    Hey everyone,
    I've been using Adobe InDesign CS5 and Apple's Aperture software together (on a Mac) to do design projects over the past year and a half or so. I'd never been that interested in Adobe's other applications until recently, when I got a Creative Cloud membership, and now am reveling in the bounty of creative possibilities.
