IDML Pandoc reader

Warning: This documentation is now archived and is not maitained anymore. The development of this project continues on Codeberg, through various repositories gathered under the name of OutDesign.

The repository outdesign/outdesign-archive contains a command-line program that automates the reading of IDML (InDesign Markup Language) files for Pandoc. Pandoc is a universal converter capable of transforming many input formats into many output formats, including DOCX, ODT, HTML, Markdown, AsciiDoc, etc. Only the document structure is converted; formatting is entirely ignored.

digraph simplified_conversions { bgcolor="transparent" p [shape=box label="Pandoc"] id [shape=diamond label="InDesign"] id -> p [label=""]; p -> "ODT"; p -> "DOCX"; p -> "HTML"; p -> "Markdown"; p -> "AsciiDoc"; p -> "EPUB"; etc [shape=octagon label="etc." href="https://pandoc.org/diagram.svgz"] p -> etc; }

The motivation behind IDML Pandoc reader 🤯

This program was developed in the context of the Déborder Bolloré project, where it was necessary to bring together the expert skills of graphic designers using Adobe InDesign and web developers, with the goal of producing a multiformat publication accessible in any reading context.
