Question
How do I create an HTML object correctly in a UXP page layout?
Basic example:
// currentPage = the current page InDesign
let htmlContent = '<p>Hello</p>';
let newRectangle = currentPage.rectangles.add();
let htmlItem = newRectangle.htmlItems.add( { htmlContent } );
This code works partially.
A block is created in the InDesign layout and the HTML code is correctly assigned.
But it doesn't work in the HTML preview or in a digital publication.
If the HTML block is created manually in the InDesign interface, there is an additional step which "validates" the specificity of the HTML block.
I've tried browsing javascript objects created manually or in JS UXP, and I can't detect any difference.
But there is a difference that prevents it from working properly.
Does anyone have any information on this subject?
Many thanks for your help!
