tags, books, bookmarks, SING glyphlets, page transitions, index markers, objects on the pasteboard that aren’t selected

1 If you’re not exporting the entire document, select the text frames, range of text, table cells, or graphics you want
to export.
2 Choose File > Export For > Dreamweaver.
3 Specify the name and location of the HTML document, and then click Save.
4 In the XHTML Export Options dialog box, specify the desired options in the General, Images, and Advanced areas,
and then click Export.
A document with the specified name and an .html extension (such as “newsletter.html”) is created; if specified, a web
images subfolder (such as “newsletter-web-images”) is saved in the same location.
XHTML export options
In the XHTML dialog box (File > Export For > Dreamweaver), specify the following options.
General options
The General area includes the following options.
Export Determines whether only the selected items or the entire document is exported. If a text frame is selected, the
entire story—including overset text—is exported.
If Document is selected, all page items from all spreads are exported, except for master page items that have not been
overridden and page items on invisible layers. XML tags and generated indexes and tables of contents are also ignored.
Bullets Select Map To Unordered List to convert bullet paragraphs into List Items, which are formatted in HTML
using the
tag with bullet characters as text.
Ordering Use either the page order or XML structure to determine the reading order of page objects.
If Base 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, multi-column documents, the design elements may not
appear in the desired reading order. Use Dreamweaver to rearrange and format the contents.
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 do not want an item to be included 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 ” on page 520.
Numbers Determines how numbers are converted in the HTML file.
• Map To Ordered List Converts numbered lists into List Items, which are formatted in HTML using the
• Map To Static Ordered List Converts numbered lists into List Items, but assigns a attribute based on the
paragraph’s current number in InDesign.
• Convert To Text Converts numbered lists into paragraphs that begin with the paragraph’s current number as text.
Images options
From the Copy Images menu, determine 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.
