How to learn XML in Adobe Indesign

Hi everyone,


I’m looking for guidance from experienced InDesign mentors. I want to learn how to correctly import product website data into InDesign using XML. Could anyone explain how I can learn the full process—including not just the InDesign import steps, but also how to create XML data file for practice and learning?

I’ve already watched several videos, but most of them only show the InDesign side of the process, not how to properly prepare or structure the XML. Any help or resources would be greatly appreciated!

 

best regards

Tanvir

The first thing that I can think of is that the XML structure should be the same as the structure(seen in the structure pane) in the InDesign document. I would suggest start from creating small samples import things see how they work and build upon that. If you get stuck on something then comeback with a specific question.
