Hi,

     I am exporting the contents from InDesign to XL file. When exporting to xl, contents only written without format.

     How to write the XL file from inDesign with styles formats (eg., italic, bold etc).  If I copy paste from InDesign to XL as manually, it does not capturing the style.  How to do it using script?

When asking strangers for help clarity is key. Personally I was not immediately familiar with the possibility of export to XL, so to be sure I started up the very latest version of InDesign (CC 2019) and checked if it was available.

There is no "export to XL" feature. Googling did not turn up anything either.

Since this is the Scripting forum, I also checked https://www.indesignjs.de/extendscriptAPI/indesign-latest/#ExportFormat.html ; no format is called "XL".

    Hi,

         Sorry for not giving clarity on my question.

         Actually i want to write the contents from InDesign to XL with format.  In InDesign scripting there is no XL format export. Manually I copied and pasted it into XL but no format is retained in XL.  Is there any way to do this process?

    Do you mean XML perhaps?
