Map styles to export tags | CC, CS6, CS5.5

Introduction to export tags

Use Export Tagging to define how text with InDesign styles is marked up in HTML, EPUB, or tagged PDF output.

You can also specify CSS class names to add to the exported content. In EPUB/HTML export, CSS classes can be used
to differentiate between slight variations in styling. It is not required that you enter a class name - InDesign
automatically generates one based on the Style Name.

You cannot preview Export Tagging within the InDesign layout, as it only impacts the exported EPUB, HTML, or PDF
file.

Edit All Export Tags lets you efficiently view and modify the mappings in a single dialog box.

Define style-tag mapping

1

For the style to map, open the paragraph, character, or Object Style Options dialog box.

2

Click Export Tagging in the left pane, and do one of the following:

• Choose a Tag to map for EPUB and HTML output.

• Specify a Class to map for EPUB and HTML output. Class names are used to generate style definitions for default

tags.

• If you want to include this style in the CSS, select the Emit CSS checkbox. If you don’t select the checkbox, no

CSS class will be generated for this style. If you have two or more styles having the same class assigned, InDesign
displays an error/warning message while exporting. This option is available only in InDesign CC.

• Choose a Tag to map for PDF output. This option is available only for paragraph styles.

Edit all export tags

You can view and modify all export tags together in a single window.

1

Select Edit All Export Tags in the Paragraph, Character, or Object style panel menu.

2

Click EPUB and HTML, or PDF.

3

Click the tag corresponding to the style. It gets converted to a list; choose the new value.

Convert Word styles to InDesign styles

While importing a Microsoft Word document into InDesign or InCopy, you can map each style used in Word to a
corresponding style in InDesign or InCopy. By doing so, you specify which styles format the imported text. A disk icon

appears next to each imported Word style until you edit the style in InDesign or InCopy.

1

Do one of the following:

• To add the Word document to existing text in InDesign or InCopy, choose File > Place. Select Show Import

Options, and then double-click the Word document.

• To open the Word document in a stand-alone InCopy document, start InCopy, choose File > Open, and then

double-click the Word file.

2

Select Preserve Styles And Formatting From Text And Tables.

3

Select Customized Style Import, and then click Style Mapping.
