Re: Indesign content -> Linux -> Web

InDesign can handle xml import/export, they say, although we've never tried it. But you should be able to export into a structured xml doc and then simply extract content. The reason I've never tried it is that getting our designers to do anything differently is impossible :-(.

GoLive was really dumb, if I remember, it basically outputted jpegs of the InDesign doc.

Does anyone have a workable method for moving the text (not the layout, images, etc.) from an Adobe InDesign document to a format that I can use in Fedora?

My co-workers are using Macs with InDesign to create print pubs, and I need to get at the text, so that I can put it up on the Web. I'm currenly trying to see if the "Package for GoLive" output will be of any use to me.

I know, I know, the content should be developed in an non-proprietary format BEFORE getting placed into InDesign, but that ain't currently how it's working.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
