: Indesign script to add HTML tags based on character styles I have an InDesign document with text styled as one of the following custom character styles throughout the document: character-bold

@Murphy569

This is definitely doable, and can quite easily be done with the use of a GREP-style script.

For each of your attributes, search for it using the GREP tab and replace with <b>[CO]</b> (so in a script, that would be changeGrep). The codes themselves will probably get some of the formatting but that would not matter if you discard them anyway. (Make sure to change the HTML codes as well, matching the attribute you are changing.)

Before you do this to add attributes, make sure to replace the characters < and > with &lt; and &gt;, and - since this introduces yet another special character - before you do that, replace & with &amp;.

InDesign has a built-in "Export to HTML" feature which can be found under File > Export.

You can choose how the HTML will render on it's way out in the export dialogue, including which tags to include (like bold, italic, etc.)

Here is a tutorial detailing the entire process: www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-export-adobe-indesign-cs6-documents-to-html.html
