I have touble with 'mapStylesToXMLTags()' it freezes my InDesign... any idea? THANK YOU

Hi Loic,

Here is a portion of my code,

The script freezes at the second line (this.document.mapStylesToXMLTags();)

       // ---------------------------------------

        trace("Update XML Structure and get rootElements >>>");

        this.document.mapStylesToXMLTags();

I tried to extract each paragraphStyle, I got 3 paragraphs with the following code:

var myDocument = app.activeDocument;

       for (var myCounter = 0 ; myCounter < myDocument.paragraphStyles.length; myCounter++){

var myParagraphStyle = myDocument.paragraphStyles.item(myCounter);

var myParagraphStyleName = myParagraphStyle.name;

var myXMLTagName = myParagraphStyleName.replace(/\ /gi,"_");

myXMLTagName = myXMLTagName.replace(/\[/gi,"");

myXMLTagName = myXMLTagName.replace(/\]/gi,"");

var myXMLTag = myDocument.xmlTags.add(myXMLTagName);

myDocument.xmlExportMaps.add(myParagraphStyle,myXMLTag);

}

myDocument.mapStylesToXMLTags();

Result:

1. [No Paragraph Style] ----converted to --à No_Paragraph_Style
2. [Basic Paragraph Style] ----converted to --à Basic_Paragraph_Style
3. [xmlTable] ----converted to --à xmlTable

ERROR @ line : var myXMLTag = myDocument.xmlTags.add(myXMLTagName);

A tag with that name already exists. Please chose a different name.

Thank you, and let me know if you require more details
