InDesign CS5 Bible- P17 Chapter 33: Using Hyperlinks and Creating Web PagesImages paneIn the Images pane, you choose how your images are converted to the Web’s GIF and JPEG for-mats, selecting options such as image quality and color palette: l Copy Images: Use this popup menu to determine how the InDesign document’s images are converted when copied to the folder you are saving your XHTML pages to. Your options are Original, which leaves them untouched (meaning that they won’t be converted into Web-compatible formats); Optimized, which converts them to the Web format speci- fied in the Image Conversion popup menu; and Link to Server Path, which does not copy the file but instead inserts an image link () to the current location. l Formatted: Select this check box to export the images to reflect any modifications made to them in InDesign, such as cropping, transparency, or scaling. Otherwise, the raw source files are exported (under the assumption that you will manipulate them further in a Web editor or image editor). l Image Conversion: Use this popup menu to specify what format images are converted to: GIF, JPEG, or Automatic (which selects the best format on a case-by-case basis). l GIF Options: Use the Palette popup menu to choose the color palette for the image: Adaptive (No Dither), Web, System (Win), or System (Mac). For Web display, the first two are best; use the other two for pages meant to be shown on a specific platform, such as pages available only on an internal company Web site. Select the Interlace check box to speed up the initial screen display of the images while the page is loading, but note that this can slow down overall page loading, so you should use it only with very large images. l JPEG Options: Use the Image Quality popup menu to select the image quality and thus the amount of compression (greater compression means lower quality): Low, Medium, High, or Maximum. Use the Format Method popup menu to control how the image appears as it loads on the Web page: Baseline (all at one time) or Progressive. Note that choosing Progressive can slow down overall page loading, so you should use it only with very large images.Advanced paneIn the Advanced pane, you set how text formatting is converted to the Web’s version of styles,called cascading style sheets, or CSS. The CSS options are the following: l Embedded CSS: This option lets you control how text formatting such as paragraph styles are handled in the CSS style list that a Web document uses to apply text formatting. Note that text that had styles applied in the InDesign layout will have the styles indicated using tags for paragraph styles and tags for character styles in the exported Web page. You have two options: 755Part VIII: Multimedia Fundamentals l Include Style Definitions: If selected, this option creates CSS style definitions in the exported files that include the specific fonts and sizes used in the InDesign layout. This can be dangerous if you use many fonts that aren’t available in Web browsers, because unless the CSS style is changed to use Web-standard fonts, browsers substi- tute fonts of their choosing for these print-oriented fonts. Of course, by including these fonts in the CSS, the Web designer can easily and consistently replace print- oriented fonts with Web-oriented ones in a Web-editing program. l Preserve Local Overrides: If selected, this option preserves local formatting, such as the use of character styles and font styles such as italics, in the exported XHTML file. The Web designer should look out for the tags that result to ensure they don’t cause issues for the final Web page’s display. l No CSS: This ignores style information in the InDesign file, thus placing just simple tags at each paragraph and stripping out any tags. Essentially, you get unformat- ted text. l External CSS: This option adds a tag in the section of the exported file, using the style name specified in the field below the External CSS radio button. (Don’t forge the .css file name extension!) This means that after someone creates the specified CSS style file, the document knows what formatting to apply to the text. (Text that had styles applied has ...
