The latest InDesign can no longer export to Tagged Text. Has somebody written a script to replicate the function? I need it sorely!

Curious if this is still available in InDesign 20.5?
Seems like the export option has been removed?
Is Adobe InDesign Tagged Text still supported for Place?

The export option is still there:

What made you believe it's removed? Also, did you experience any issues placing InDesign Tagged Text?

In error, I took the word of a user I was talking to on the phone 😞

Now that I have returned to my Mac, I see that the option is indeed there as expected.

Thanks for the confirmation.

Sorry guys! And thanks for your time! I didn't see it and panicked. (ID 20.1)

I use it a lot, having written some Python scripts to import from a csv file to a much nicer InDesign layout. Through the export possibility, I have been able to do some backward engineering; the Tagged Text documentation is fairly basic ...

Thanks again!
