Map styles to export tags | CC, CS6, CS5.5

Use Export Tagging to define how InDesign text styles are marked up in HTML, EPUB, or a tagged PDF output.

You can also specify CSS class names to add to the exported content. In EPUB/HTML export, CSS classes can be used to differentiate between slight variations in styling. If no class name is added, InDesign automatically generates one based on the Style Name.

You cannot preview Export Tagging within the InDesign layout, as it only impacts the exported EPUB, HTML, or PDF file.

Edit All Export Tags lets you efficiently view and modify the mappings in a single dialog box.

  1. Select a paragraph or character style.

  2. Go to More Options   > Style Options...

    You'll see the Style Options panel.

  3. Select Export Tagging.
