InDesign Publish Online help / I wish it had

Publish online needs to be able to tell the difference between spreads and single pages. I publish a magazine using publish online and with the page numbers at the bottom, it looks like it is half as thick as it is. or have an option to take the page numbers off since they are in the magazine and I don't need them on the web page.

It would also be cool if when animating the magazine in InDesign there was a page flip, though I do like the way I do it now because it's different, it would be cool if I could make it look more like a magazine.

Another idea is it would be nice to be able to get the HTML/CSS so I can host it myself (I know I can embed but it's not the same)

Here is one of the issues that I have published for work to see what I am talking about. if those features are there and I am just missing it, please let me know.

I hope that some of these issues are addressed in the future, and if you say well its a free service your wrong because we pay a lot of money a year for this free service, especially since I need the whole CC since I'm a web and graphic designer and take a lot of the photos for the magazine.

all of the items in your wishlist exist in IN5.  Its a plug in for indesign. you still work from the digital publishing workspaces.

That's cool and all, but I'm not looking to spend even more money then I am with creative cloud, I could also code it myself sinceI'mm a web designer but that would take up a lot of time. This stuff should be included I should not need a plugin.

Page flip is really a bit yesterday – it gets really irritating after a bit!

If you really must have it, have a look at this: Free HTML5 Flip Book Maker; Interactive HTML5 Digital Publishing Platform for Magazines, Catalogs, and more | FlipHTML5

I do see your point, that's why I like the animation that I do now, just thought it might be a cool addition. But it is hard to keep up with what is "in"
