Delete Elements, Frames, and Content That Do Not Match Imported XML
Removes elements from the Structure
pane and the layout of the document if they don’t match any elements in the imported XML file. Use this option to
filter data from the document. For example, when importing names and addresses, you might have placeholder text
for an element containing the company name. If one of the names doesn’t include the company element, InDesign
deletes the element containing the placeholder text.
Import CALS Tables As InDesign Tables
Imports any CALS tables in the XML file as InDesign tables.
Tagging content for XML

•
Create a tag with the New Tag command.
•
Load tags from an XML file or another document.
