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.
