This technique is useful when you want to use the same layout for different sets of content. For example, a weekly

newsletter may have the same layout from week to week, but offer different content with each publication.

In order for imported XML to be merged directly into a layout, your document must meet these requirements:

• Frames (or tables) in the document must be tagged with identical tag names as elements in the XML file that you

intend to import.

• Thestructureofthedocument(asshownintheStructurepane)mustparallelthestructureoftheimportedXML

file. In other words, the identically named elements must be found in the same locations in the structure hierarchy

of both files. To achieve this parallel structure, you may have to rearrange and reorder elements (and their child

elements) in the Structure pane or use the Apply XSLT option when you import the XML file.

Note: InDesign flows merged XML content into existing frames only. Any element content that doesn’t fit in its frame (or

series of threaded frames) becomes overset text.

Working with repeating data

XML is repeating if the same configuration of elements appears multiple times in a row, but the contains unique data

in each instance. For example, database records are repeating. Addresses in a database table contain repeated infor-

mation—name, street address, city, state, postal code—for a variety of individuals.

When you import repeating XML content, you can tell InDesign to clone the repeated elements in the structure.

Cloning allows you to merge repeating XML data into a document without having to create placeholder elements in

the Structure pane (or placeholder text in a frame) for every single record. For example, to import an XML address

list with 25 entries, create a matching element structure for one entry in the Structure pane. When you import the

complete list, InDesign clones that structure to create elements for all 25 entries.

RepeatingXMLcontentisflowedasasinglestorywhenitismergedintothedocument.Ifplaceholderframeshave

been threaded together, the content is flowed from one frame to the next. If there isn’t enough room in the place-

holder frame(s) to accommodate the XML content, you can autoflow the remaining content by creating and

threading more frames; you don’t have to manually drag elements from the Structure pane into individual frames.

Dear manymanuals.pl Admin! my name’s Eric and for just a second, imagine this… - Someone does a search and winds up at manymanuals.pl. - They hang out for a minute to check it out. I’m interested… but… maybe… - And then they hit the back button and check out the other search results instead. - Bottom line – you got an eyeball, but nothing else to show for it. - There they go. This isn’t really your fault – it happens a LOT – studies show 7 out of 10 visitors to any site disap

Dear, Eric here with a quick thought about your website manymanuals.pl Owner! I’m on the internet a lot and I look at a lot of business websites. Like yours, many of them have great content. But all too often, they come up short when it comes to engaging and connecting with anyone who visits. I get it – it’s hard. Studies show 7 out of 10 people who land on a site, abandon it in moments without leaving even a trace. You got the eyeball, but nothing else. Here’s a solution for y
