glyphlets, page transitions, index markers, objects on the pasteboard that aren’t selected and don’t touch the page, or
master page items (unless they’re overridden or selected before export).
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 and select HTML from the Save As Type list.
3 Specify the name and location of the HTML document, and then click Save.
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 / Ordering 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, multi-column documents, the design elements may 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). In some instances, especially in complex, multi-
column documents, the exported design elements may not appear in the desired reading order. Use Dreamweaver to
rearrange and format the contents.
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 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.
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.
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.
