Is this possible Add XML Tag to Table columns

[natrev]

Hi EveryOne!

I am the new baby to this indesign forums. I need apply XML tag to each and every table columns (name likely test1,test2...)

Please help me out this problem or kindly correct my codes.

My code.

var docRef=app.activeDocument;
var ColLen=app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem().tables.everyItem().columns.length;
for(i=0; i<ColLen; i++){
    var mySel=app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem().tables.everyItem().columns;
    app.activeDocument.xmlElements[0].xmlElements.add({markupTag:"Test"+(i+1), xmlContent:mySel});
}

Hi,

You can easily tag the table at first with the autoTag command.

myTable.autoTag();

Once that done, you can target the columns cells and reset the applied tag:

var xes = myTable.columns[0].cells.everyItem().associatedXMLElement;
var n = xes.length;
while ( n-- ) xes.markupTag = "foo"
