Is this book for programmers? Written specifically for graphic
designers and production artists already comfortable working with Adobe
InDesign, this book teaches you how to automate publishing without
learning a lot of scary code. XML simplifies the process of moving
content in and out of your layouts and can speed up any print or Web
assignment. Why should I care about XML? If you抮e managing
data-intensive layout projects, and you want to keep that data
consistent, accurate, and up-to-date, then incorporating XML can help.
You can also use XML to automate processes like importing text and large
numbers of graphics into a layout, or repurposing content from one
application to another. Do I need additional plug-ins or special
software? You need only the powerful features built into InDesign CS2 or
CS3 to use this book. How will I learn XML? This guide includes nine
easy-to-follow projects with downloadable support files. With these
hands-on tutorials, you will learn XML in context. By the final project,
XML will no longer be a mystery, but a powerful tool you can use to
support your company or clients. These real-world projects will teach
you:
l Business cards: Create a structured layout in InDesign and then
import XML. Format text automatically and flow the text into multiple
examples. l Product catalog: Learn how to import XML data into a
structured layout using nested styles and cloned text. l Direct mail and
variable data printing: Use XML and InDesign to create sophisticated
direct mail pieces without costly plug-ins or third-party software. l
Magazine and newspaper: Build and export magazine-style publications for
online distribution. l Web: Transform XML into XHTML to incorporate
directly into your Web pages, or use Cascading Style Sheets to instantly
format your exported XML.
