Is there an up-to-date guide to Hidden Characters?

Looking for a guide to all Hidden Characters.

Help from within InDesign does not give any results, and I haven't found much else.

thanks!

The only place to look for would be the SDK... and one of the .h files.

 


Marc Autret is the owner of IndiScripts.com. At some point I downloaded a newer version of the chart shown above, released in 2011 and titled "InDesign CS4/CS5" rather than just "CS4." It contains a few more characters and some corrections, AFAK.

 

Mike Witherell of JetSet Communications publishes InDesign character charts. His is more up to date than IndiScripts' above and includes many of the traditional metacharacters left out of IndiScripts (like ^p or end of paragraph used in InDesign's find/change): Adobe InDesign 2025 learning aids and helps and cheatsheets

 

I use both: with both of them, I can usually find what I need for all kinds of programming and automation with InDesign ... GREP, traditional Find/Change, automated publishing, HTML.

My listing also includes icons you will see in InCopy. I recently added an extra page of written term definitions. I must say, tho, with the last 4 years of InDesign, it is hard to spot all the onscreen ornaments and icons. I hope I found them all!

Thank you!

I guess they haven't changed in a long time?

The one's existing when the document was made i.e. CS4 have very little chance of being changed. The only thing is if some new have been added since then. For that case you can always come back here and we will find them for you.
