Enhance Your Publishing Output

IdXML is a plugin for the DITA Open Toolkit that creates a simplified XML output ready to import into Adobe InDesign. It allows you to map DITA to your own XML scheme and custom designs. Tags are mapped to design elements in a template, including paragraph,character, table, and object styles.

Key IdXML Capabilities

Automated InDesign Import

Create a flattened XML mapped to a custom XML schema suitable for InDesign import. Transform elements in the DITA topics to output elements in the XML file according to IdXML’s conditions and rules.

Decouple Content from Formatting

Like TopLeaf, IdXML separates your XML content from the finished formatting. IdXML supports semantic tagging with mapping to a typographic look and feel only in InDesign.

Automated MathML 2.0 Conversion

Streamline the publishing of technical specifications with built-in MathML 2.0 support. By converting mathematical data into SVG format, IdXML ensures that complex formulas remain scalable and accurate from the DITA source to the final InDesign output.

Productivity Multiplier

Automate repetitive formatting tasks and map content to one or more content stories that can flow through the entire document.
