What’s New
Styles mapped to tags
Managing the design of your type through styles saves you time and hassle—while allowing you to
create more sophisticated text. Create digital documents that conform to open standards with
improved basic typography without needing to make changes directly to the HTML code. In
InDesign CS5.5, you can map paragraph and character styles directly to HTML, EPUB, and PDF tags
to ensure that styles you define in InDesign are exported appropriately. For more advanced
workflows, you can add CSS class names and type in your own custom tags.

Whether you’re adding
soundtrack music to a children’s book, including tour videos in a travel guide, or including
contemporary news footage in a historical volume, audio and video content take eBook readers
beyond the traditional reading experience.
InDesign CS5.5 supports video and audio tags for newer standards such as HTML5 and

standards, such as Apple iBooks.

Linked text
Save time and reduce errors by linking identical text blocks in a document, so that edits you make
to the original story (the parent story) apply to all of them. Take advantage of this feature to ensure
text remains consistent across duplicated content, such as when you’re updating boilerplate legal
text or product descriptions that appear throughout a document. With linked text, you can edit
information in the parent story and simply update the link in the Links panel to correct the text
everywhere it appears.
