Export HTML from InDesign

  1. In InDesign, select File > Export…
    • Select “HTML” in the format dropdown menu
    • Uncheck “View HTML after exporting”
    • On Advanced tab uncheck “Generate CSS” option
    • Save somewhere
  2. Use the HTML processing tool
    • Paste the entire contents of the HTML exported by InDesign in the left pane
    • Copy the processed HTML in the right pane
    • Paste into your new article in Texptattern
    • Add content images and captions as needed.
  3. Make any necessary corrections
    • Blockquotes made up of multiple paragraphs should be marked up with a single blockquote element, like so:
      
      	<blockquote>
      		<p>text</p>
      		<p>text</p>
      		<p>text</p>
      		...
      	</blockquote>
        
    • Special attention may need to be given to poems and other funky formatting situations
    • Look for stranded, single, or empty tags like <a id=“Anchor” /> and delete them
    • Make sure cited works are enclosed in “cite” tags, while purely italicized items are in “i” tags.
