Add custom id within ePub using InDesign script....

[Shonky_N]

Hi Everyone,

I am looking for some solution where we can add custom ID's to text frame, image frame and paragraph level and same ID's will be exported within fixed layout ePub. I have checked all the property of the text, images, and paragraph but not found anything which can be exported for fixed layout ePub.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Baljeet

Hi Baljeet​,

I wanted to do the same thing, but found no way forward with InDesign.

I did, however, find a workflow that wasn't too bad.

1. Editing the EPUB in Sigil.​
2. You can then select text and assign it an anchor <a> tag with an ID you enter.
3. I use a Sigil plugin called TagMechanic. to replace the anchor <a> tags with span <span> tags that have the same id value.
4. Sigil then re-saves the EPUB file.

It's a workaround, but works pretty well.
