: Why doesn't my HTML markup have any indentation when I export it to .epub from InDesign? I am using Indesign CC to create a book on HTML programming. I have used TextFrames to add blocks
I am using Indesign CC to create a book on HTML programming. I have used TextFrames to add blocks of code and markup. When I generate an ePub out of it, the code blocks and markup are generated without indentation. Everything is left aligned.
However when I export the textframe as an image, the markup comes with indentation but the file size is way too big and the code is obviously not selectable.
What options do I have here? Here's an example of the kind of code I am dealing with:
<body>
<table border="1">
<thead>
<tr>
<th class="c1">ABC</th>
<th class="c2">PQR</th>
<th class="c3">XYZ</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>1</td>
<td>Book</td>
<td>Top</td>
</tr>

You need to apply a paragraph style in InDesign. They are not in Window but the panel is located in Type. Shortcut cmd+F11:
Create the paragraph style, double click, go to Indents and Spacing:
Add your desired indent in the First Line Indent:
Taking it a little further. You could unpack the ePub and navigate to your CSS and build a class and apply text-indent. If you do go this route be careful because the output of InDesign will produce multiple CSS classes so you will need to verify that your indention was applied correctly.
