how does InDesign support XmL? InDesign CS3 offers extensive XML support. You can import, create, style, edit, and export XML files using an integrated toolset that includes a Structure pane for viewing and managing tagged content, a Tags panel (Window > Tags) for creating and applying XML tags to content, easy controls for mapping XML styles to text styles (and vice versa), and optional use of Document Type Definition (DTD) files for defining and validating XML structure. With this support, you can: • Apply Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformation (XSLT) style sheets when importing or exporting XML content to make it easier to flow XML into InDesign page templates or export it to a database or website. • Bring existing content more easily into Adobe InDesign CS3 by importing tables tagged with the 82 Adobe InDesign CS3 | Conversion guide XML Workflows To maximize profitability, publishers must find the most efficient ways to extract and store content in a format that can be reused. For many publishers, the leading choice is XML and XMLbased workflow automation. InDesign supports these workflows with powerful XML import and export capabilities, extensive scripting support, and innovative approaches to other cross-media workflows. InDesign uses tools, processes, and metaphors you’re already familiar with, plus a few new ones, to help you create, manage, and deliver XML. CALS standard and converting them into InDesign tables. • Use scripting to create XML rules to automatically generate and format InDesign pages or documents based on imported XML. • Import and interactively place XML content, or automatically flow XML files into tagged templates. Versatile import options in InDesign CS3 give you control over the import process. For example, you can import only elements that match the existing tagged structure in the InDesign layout. Anything that doesn’t match is omitted automatically on import. • Create a link to an XML file on import, so that you can easily update your placed XML content whenever the source XML content is updated. • Automatically format XML on import by mapping XML tags to paragraph and character styles in your document. Or you can more easily reuse existing content by automatically mapping text styles to XML tags and then exporting the XML content. • Apply XML tags to InDesign tables and table content, and then import XML content into those tables or export content from them. • Set up XML templates using DTD files, and then validate and correct imported XML content. what else should I know about XmL workflows? In general, XML-based workflows involve teams of people—writers, editors, designers, and IT professionals—who define the process and build the templates, scripts, and other support needed. However, even publishers with more limited
B Flexible Publishing with XML technical expertise can successfully implement XML processes to automate and greatly speed up tedious production of standardized documents, such as data sheets. Overall, the XML support in InDesign offers these benefits: A For designers. The XML tools are built in and work similarly to other tools in InDesign, so designers will find them intuitive and accessible. For example, applying the XML tags that an IT person provides is as easy as applying paragraph styles. For IT professionals. InDesign offers robust XML support in an extensible, scriptable environment. C A. Click the show/hide structure toggle to open the structure pane. B.

Achieve the results you want on import through extensive XmL import controls, including the ability to link to XmL files. D Your designers will find it easy to use, and you’ll find it cost-effective to integrate into your current systems. For more information, refer to Adobe InDesign CS3 and XML: A Technical Reference on the Adobe website (www.adobe.com/products/indesign/ scripting). Does InDesign support scripting? Yes, virtually every aspect of InDesign is scriptable through standard scripting languages, including JavaScript for cross-platform scripting, AppleScript, and VBScript. Using scripts, you can streamline routine production or labor-intensive creative tasks in a wide variety of publishing workflows. Detailed Anything you can do in InDesign, from a simple task to a complex sequence of tasks, can be automated using a script. the scripts panel displays a list of available scripts, and doubleclicking a script in the panel launches the script. scripting guides and sample scripts are available on the InDesign CS3 DVD and on the Adobe website (www.adobe.com/products/indesign/ scripting). Expanded scripting support in InDesign CS3 lets you seamlessly integrate automation into your workflow by attaching scripts to menu commands to modify their behavior. You can enable interactive scripts and build more complex interfaces by using JavaScript and the Extend- Script toolkit. XML Workflows 83
