If Based On Page Layout is selected, InDesign determines the reading order of page objects by scanning left to right and
top to bottom. In some instances, especially in complex, multicolumn documents, the design elements sometimes do
not appear in the desired reading order. Use Dreamweaver to rearrange and format the contents.
(Asian versions only) If Base On Page Layout is selected, InDesign determines the reading order of page objects
according to the document’s binding (left to right or right to left).
Same As XML Structure
If Same As XML Structure is selected, the XML Structure panel controls the ordering of the exported content and which
content gets exported. If your content is already tagged, you can simply drag the tags in the XML Structure panel to set
the XHTML Export order. If your content is not tagged, you can choose Add Untagged Items from the Structure panel
menu to generate tags that you can reorder. If you want to exclude an item in the export, you can simply delete the tag
in the XML Structure panel. (Deleting a tag does not delete the content from the INDD file.) See
Tag page items .
Same As Articles Panel
The order of elements in the Articles panel determines the reading order. Only the checked articles are exported. See
Articles (CS5.5) .
Formatting Options Select the formatting options for bullets and numbering.
Bullets Select Map To Unordered List to convert bullet paragraphs into List Items, which are formatted in HTML using
the tag. Select Convert To Text to format using the tag with bullet characters as text. If you have used native InDesign
auto-bullets, subbullets are also included.
Numbers Determines how numbers are converted in the HTML file. If you have used native InDesign auto-
numbering, subbullets are also included.
• Map to Ordered Lists: Converts numbered lists into List Items, which are formatted in HTML using the tag.
• Convert to Text: Converts numbered lists into paragraphs that begin with the paragraph’s current number as text.

Image options
Copy Images Specify how images are exported to HTML.
Original Exports the original image to the “-web-images” subfolder. When this option is selected,
all other options are dimmed.
Optimized Lets you change settings to determine how the image is exported.
Link To Server Path Rather than exporting images to a subfolder, this option lets you enter a local URL (such as
“images/”) that appears in front of the image file. In the HTML code, the link attribute displays the path and extension
you specify. This option is especially effective when you’re converting images to web-compatible images yourself.
Preserve Appearance from Layout Check to inherit the image object attributes from the layout.
Resolution (ppi) Choose the resolution of the images in pixels per inch (ppi). While operating systems have
standardized on either 72 ppi or 96 ppi, mobile devices range from 132 ppi (iPad), to 172 ppi (Sony Reader), to over
300 ppi (iPhone 4). You can choose a ppi value for each object selected. Values include 72, 96, 150 (average for all eBook
devices today), and 300.
Image Size Specify if image size must remain fixed or resized relative to the text on the page. Relative to Text flow sets
a relative percentage value based on the text flow relative to the InDesign page width. This option causes the images to
rescale proportionally, relative to the text of the reading area.
Image Alignment and Spacing Specify the image alignment - left, center, and right. You can also specify the top and
bottom padding.
