Content Summary :
This white paper presents two real-world case studies of publishers who are using the powerful XML features in Adobe InDesign CS to repurpose content. Because XML is an open standard, it can be understood by a wide range of applications, making it easy to move content from InDesign layouts directly to HTML for websites or to large database-driven systems that control websites. The first case study explores some of the techniques that American Express Publishing employs to repurpose content from InDesign CS layouts of its bimonthly T+L Golf to HTML. The second case study focuses on how a weekly newspaper, Texas Lawyer, creates XML files from InDesign CS layouts for its powerful content management system (CMS) to produce website content and generate XML for syndication. Both publishers use XML to maintain critical formatting information such as bold, italic, headline tagging, body text formats, and contextual information such as the publication’s name, date, and author. (XML is flexible enough to store other types of information as well, including copyright specifics, licensing terms, keywords, and categorization information.)
