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.
• Same As Articles Panel The order of elements in the Articles panel determines the reading order. Only the checked
articles are exported. See “ Include articles for export ” on page 148.
Margin Specify a simple margin in Ems or pixels. Specifying margins in Ems is better for multiscreen compatibility.
The same value is applied to all margins: top, bottom, left, and right.
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. If you have used
native InDesign auto-bullets, sub-bullets are also included.
Numbers Determines how numbers are converted in the HTML file. If you have used native InDesign auto-
numbering, sub-bullets are also included
• 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.
View HTML After Exporting Starts the browser, if present.
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) Specify 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 specify 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 page. Relative to Page Size sets a relative
percentage value based on the size of the image relative to the InDesign page width. This option causes the images to
rescale proportionally, relative to the width of the reading area.
Image Alignment and Spacing Specify the image alignment, left, center, right, and the top and bottom padding.
Settings Apply to Anchored Objects Check to apply these settings to all anchored objects.
Image Conversion Lets you choose whether the optimized images in your document are converted to GIF, JPEG, or
PNG. Choose Automatic to let InDesign decide which format to use in each instance. Choosing PNG disables the
image compression settings.; use PNG for lossless images or for images that include transparency.
GIF Options (Palette) Lets you control how InDesign handles colors when optimizing GIF files. The GIF format uses
a limited color palette, which cannot exceed 256 colors.
