In the General tab of the Export XML dialog box, choose any of the following:
Include DTD Declaration
Exports the reference to the DTD along with the XML file. This option is only available if
there is a DOCTYPE element in the Structure pane.
View XML Using
Opens the exported file in a browser, XML editing application, or text editor. Choose the browser
or application from the list.
Export From Selected Element
Starts exporting from the element you selected in the Structure pane. This option is
only available if you selected an element before choosing File > Export.
Export Untagged Tables As CALS XML
Exports untagged tables in CALS XML format. To be exported, the table
must be in a tagged frame, and the table must not be tagged.
Remap Break, Whitespace, And Special Characters
Exports break, whitespace, and special characters as decimal
character entities rather than straight characters.
Apply XSLT
Applies a stylesheet to define the transformation of the exported XML to, for example, a modified XML
tree or HTML. Select Browse (Windows) or Choose (Mac OS) to select an XSLT from the file system. The default
setting, Use Stylesheet From XML, uses an XSLT transformation instruction if one is referenced in the XML that is
applied on export.

Choose an encoding type from the Encoding menu.

To specify export options for images, click the Images tab, and then select one or more of the following:
Original Images
Places a copy of the original image files in an Images subfolder.
Optimized Original Images
Optimizes and compresses the original image files and places copies of the files in an
Images sub-folder.
Optimized Formatted Images
Optimizes the original image files that contain applied transformation (such as
rotation or scaling) and places them in an Images sub-folder. For example, if the document contains two images, one
cropped and one not, only the cropped image is optimized and copied to the Images sub-folder.
8
If you selected Optimized Original Images or Optimized Formatted Images in the previous step, choose options for
the optimizing the images.
9
Click Export.
Note: Not all special characters are supported in XML (such as the Automatic Page Number character). InDesign warns
you if it cannot include a character in the exported XML file. This warning also appears if you didn’t tag a table.
Optimized image export options
The following options are available when you choose Optimized Original Images or Optimized Formatted Images in
the Images tab of the Export XML dialog box.
Image Conversion
Specifies which file format to use for the converted image. If you choose Automatic, InDesign
chooses the best file type based on the image. Hence, you may want to specify both GIF Options and JPEG Options.
GIF Options
Specify the formatting for images that are converted to GIF format when exported to XML. You can set
the following options:
Palette
Specifies the color palette you want the image to conform to when converted. Choose the palette for the final
display format of the XML content. Adaptive (no dither) works well for images with primarily solid colors and can be
used when the final output will be to multiple formats.
