Importing XML: duplicate headers

Jun 17, 2012 6:11 AM

I'm importing an xml file in InDesign.

In xml I have an element called "header-title".

In InDesign I've created a box and tagged it as "header-title".

 

So, after importing, the header-title box shows correctly the text of the "xml element" but, if I duplicate the box, the content is not duplicated.

 

So, how can I create multiple box in inDesign, with same tags and same content from xml?

 

tnx

    hi,

     

    did you ever discover how to solve this?

    I am having the same issue.

    The only solution (for me) is duplicate N fields in the xml for N header.

    So, for example:

     

    HEADER 1>Header</

    HEADER 2>Header</

    HEADER 3>Header</

    ....

    ah yes, that was also my conclusion. It's a bummer that it can't just duplicate the placeholder and get the same data in multiple places.

     

    thanks anyways.
