    Export html

    changeco1 Community Member

      Is there a way to export EXACTLY what I see in InDesign to html? preferably dreamweaver... When I export to Dreamweaver it only gives me a few options, none of which really help... The file is still a list of code with no styling...

       

      I have a pretty involved file and want to make an interactive web application... before you say it, I need to add database and form subission interaction and exporting to flash isn't really an option...

       

      Any ideas?

          None at all (assuming you don't want a JPEG image of the entire page). InDesign is a page layout program. HTML is not.

          If you selected the correct options on exporting, the styling is there. All paragraph and character styles are converted to css classes, which are initially empty, but you can edit them in Dreamweaver or any other HTML editor.

          The actual parameters of each style -- font, size, keep with next lines, column break before, opentype ligatures -- are not exported.
