your InDesign document, you can export the contents
to an XML file. This XML file can then be reformatted
for any media, including wireless devices, the Web,
eBooks, InDesign® documents, and the printed page.
XML is intended for data exchange, reuse, and publishing
on the Web. Like HTML, XML uses elements and
structure. However, unlike HTML, XML lets users define
a custom set of element tags. Another difference is that
XML does not preserve formatting—only content.
