InDesign CS5 Bible- P18 Chapter 36: Working with XMLExporting XML FilesWhen the InDesign document has the proper elements properly tagged to the document’s content,you’re ready to export it to an XML file for use by a Web site’s content management system orother XML database. Choose File ➪ Export or press Ô+E or Ctrl+E to open the Export dialog box.In this dialog box, give the XML file a name in the Save As field (InDesign automatically adds thefile name extension .xml), select a folder in which to place the file, and — most important —choose XML from the Format popup menu (on the Mac) or Save as Type popup menu (inWindows). Then click Save.The Export XML dialog box appears. It opens with the General pane. This pane is simple: l Include DTD Declaration: Select this check box to include the DTD information in the exported file. Otherwise, the XML database needs to import the DTD file separately. l View XML Using: Select this check box and select a Web browser or Web-supporting application in the adjacent popup menu to preview the XML file in that browser or program. l Export from Selected Element: If an element is selected in the Structure pane, the Export from Selected Element check box is available; if it’s selected, it exports the XML file only from that element on. l Export Untagged Tables as CALS XML: To convert InDesign tables not tagged with XML attributes to the CALS XML format, select this check box. l Remap Break, Whitespace, and Special Characters: To convert special characters to their XML codes, select this check box. l Apply XSLT: If this check box is selected, InDesign applies the XSLT style sheet either from the XML file or from a separate file; you specify which by using the popup menu to its right. l Encoding: Use this popup menu to choose the text encoding mechanism — a way of representing international characters across different computer systems. Your content engineer or Webmaster will tell you whether to select UTF-8, UTF-16, or Shift-JIS.In the Graphics pane, you tell InDesign how to handle the output of any tagged pictures. Youroptions are as follows: l Image Options section: Here, you indicate what images to copy to the Images subfolder that InDesign creates. Your choices are Original Images, Optimized Original Images, and Optimized Formatted Images. You can select any or all of these. The optimized images are converted to GIF or JPEG for use on the Web unless you specify GIF or JPEG in the Image Conversion popup menu rather than leave the default setting of Automatic; the formatted images crop the images to reduce file size. l GIF Options section: Here, you choose the color palette in the Palette popup menu, with choices of Adaptive (No Dither), Web, System (Mac), and System (Win). Ask your Webmaster what to use; usually, you select Adaptive (No Dither). For very large images, 805Part IX: Programming InDesign interlacing can make on-screen display over the Web seem faster (by building the image line by line rather than waiting until the whole image has been transferred to the browser before anything appears); if you want to have such interlaced display of GIF files, select the Interlace option. l JPEG Options section: Here, you have options similar to those for GIF files. In the Image Quality popup menu, choose the desired image quality (Low, Medium, High, and Maximum). In the Format Method, choose Progressive to have the file displayed progres- sively (similar to the interlace option for GIF files) or Baseline to display it all at one time. Unless your images are very large, keep the default Baseline. When you export an XML file with graphics, InDesign automatically embeds XMP media manage- ment properties with the graphics’ tags. You can view those properties by choosing File ➪ File Info or pressing Option+Shift+Ô+I or Ctrl+Alt+Shift+I and then choosing the Advanced pane. This information may be of interest to your content engineer but has no real meaning for the page designer. However, the content engineer may want to fill out the information in the File Info dialog box’s other panes — Description and Origin — into which you can add comments, creator infor- mation and contact details, copyright information, credit and source information, keywords, and copyright URLs.
