The following guidelines will configure InDesign to create nearly usable html via export. I can then take this one big html file and break it up into useable bits with a tool that I wrote.
- Thread text boxes that contain related content to be exported.
- Establish Paragraph Styles for exporting unique block level elements (h1, p, etc)
- Establish Character Styles for exporting inline elements (span, strong, em, etc.)
- Use lists and tables properly and they themselves out
- Inside your Paragraph and Character Styles, set up 'Export Tagging' to map desired elements and classes to export
- Create on Article per desired HTML page (the sitemap looks to suggest there will be 27 pages, but I'm not 100% sure that number is right) to be output and set it up with appropriate content
- Any images that should be exported in the flow of content needs to be properly anchored
- this includes all the charts and figures created in inDesign, these need to be pulled out of inDesign, converted into a png or jpg, then placed in indesign.
- Export html with these settings altered from defaults
- Content order: Same as Articles Panel
- Advanced: uncheck both css boxes
- Keep an Eye on the preflight tool to make sure there's no content unaccounted for during the threading
- Content that shouldn't be exported (page numbers etc) should not be included in the articles
- No content should have overrides applied to the Paragraph styles
- There probably shouldn't be nearly as many text boxes as there are in the document. If removing some speeds you up, feel free.
