List of specs used styles/Text Style Reporter script?

I used a script called TextStyleReporter some years ago to create a list of all specifications of all styles in a document. It created a formatted new document with all (preferred) specifications of the styles in an InDesign document

This script can not be downloaded anymore from the original source.

Does anyone still have this script for me or any (free) alternatives?

Thanks!

I'm in such dire need of this! 😄

 

Hi @Sasha Stemler , You can try this—it exports 142 columns with each style’s properties as a .CSV file in the same directory as the ID file. If you open the script there is a list of the properties it skips at the top:

Here are the properties it skips:
 
//Properties to skip
var exceptions = ["styleUniqueId","emitCss","includeClass","paragraphKashidaWidth",
                 "designAxes","previewColor","rotateSingleByteCharacters","leadingModel",
                 "id","isValid","index","label","properties","styleExportTagMaps","parent","tabList",

                 "warichuCharsAfterBreak","warichuCharsBeforeBreak","cjkGridTracking","glyphForm",
                 "gridAlignFirstLineOnly","gridAlignment","autoTcy","autoTcyIncludeRoman","kinsokuSet",

a list of all specifications of all styles in a document.

 

Are you really trying to get all of the styles and properties. CC2020 paragraph styles have 325 properties.

Hi Frans,

didn't Kasyan do a script like that?

At least one for paragraph styles:

http://kasyan.ho.ua/indesign/export/export_styles_description_settings_to_csv.html

 

Or do you mean something like the List Font Properties script by Roland Dreger:

http://kasyan.ho.ua/indesign/font/applied_font.html

I'm trying to work through a few documents' paragraph styles and my googling led me here. 🙂 If either of you happen to have the script available, I would love a copy. Thank you!
