# idml2xml

Converts InDesign IDML to XML. Based on the transpect module [idml2xml](https://github.com/transpect/idml2xml).

## Introduction

Considering this [hello world example](https://github.com/transpect/idml2xml-frontend/tree/master/sample), idml2xml will generate flat [Hub XML with CSSa XML attributes](http://publishinggeekly.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/CSSa.pdf). 

```xml

  

    

      

    

    

      

    

  

  hello world

```

## Requirements

At least Java 1.7 is required.

## Clone this project

This project depends on Git submodules. Therefore you have to clone it with the `--recurse-submodules` option to get the submodules, too:

```

git clone https://github.com/transpect/idml2xml-frontend --recurse-submodules

```

## Invocation

### Bash

For convenient use on command line, we provide a simple Bash script. You can run it in this way:

```

./idml2xml.sh sample/hello-world.idml

```

### Calabash

We provide also Bash and Windows Batch scripts to invoke the XProc pipeline directly:

```

./calabash.sh -o result=sample/hello-world.xml xpl/idml2xml-frontend.xpl idml=sample/hello-world.idml

```

## Include idml2xml in your XProc project

Please refer to this [tutorial](http://transpect.github.io/getting-started.html) for a more extensive documentation.
