He went on to explain that typically, the HTML you'll get out of InDesign will be most useful if you have an existing CSS you're targeting (eg, a boilerplate CSS you use for EPUB projects, or a CSS used by your site or its content mangement system).

'Because of this, it's unlikely that you'll get from start to finish without tinkering under the hood and getting into at least the CSS, if not the HTML markup itself.' However, the CSS InDesign generates strives to preserve the settings you've applied to a print layout (e.g., a book or a magazine article) and there are too many differences between the print- and screen-based reading experiences for that to produce optimal results. 'For appearance, InDesign can generate CSS for both EPUB and HTML. These let you maintain the structure and organization of your content, but not its appearance. Both destinations require consistent use of styles (Character, Paragraph, and Object) throughout your project, and that all styles be connected to an HTML equivalent (e.g., the p tag for paragraphs, h1, h2, h3, and so on for headings, and em or strong for italic or bold, respectively). Murphy explained: 'When repurposing InDesign content as HTML, there are two built-in export paths: EPUB (either Fixed Layout or Reflowable in CC 2014) or HTML. The courses are InDesign CS6 to HTML (opens in new tab) and InDesign for Web Design (opens in new tab). He was able to shed a lot of light on this subject, and shares it all in great detail in a series of two courses on the subject published by. In fact it is probably safe to say he had brought this to a high art, as with his other visual creations. Murphy was kind enough to make time to speak with me about this subject he may know more about than anyone else.
