A Designers Guide to Adobe InDesign and.XML

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�re 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.
