Exporting and publishing
Last updated 11/30/2015
4 In the HTML Export Options dialog box, specify the desired options in the General, Image, and Advanced areas,
and then click OK.
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.
HTML export options
In the HTML dialog box, 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.
Content Order lets you specify the reading order of page objects.
Based On Page Layout
The location of the items on the page determines the reading order.
If Based 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, multicolumn documents, the design elements sometimes do
not appear in the desired reading order. Use Dreamweaver to rearrange and format the contents.
(Asian versions only) If Base On Page Layout is selected, InDesign determines the reading order of page objects
according to the document’s binding (left to right or right to left).
Same As XML Structure
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 want to exclude an item 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.
Same As Articles Panel
The order of elements in the Articles panel determines the reading order. Only the checked articles are exported. See
Articles (CS5.5).
Formatting Options Select the formatting options for bullets and numbering.
Bullets Select Map To Unordered List to convert bullet paragraphs into List Items, which are formatted in HTML using
the tag. Select Convert To Text to format using the tag with bullet characters as text. If you have used native InDesign
auto-bullets, subbullets are also included.
Numbers Determines how numbers are converted in the HTML file. If you have used native InDesign auto-
numbering, subbullets are also included.
• Map to Ordered Lists: Converts numbered lists into List Items, which are formatted in HTML using the tag.
• Convert to Text: Converts numbered lists into paragraphs that begin with the paragraph’s current number as text.
