Hi ...

I'm still working on creating a book from an XML, I'm
almost finished. But I don't know how to place the xml with tags in a textframe.

At the moment I use the code below, but then I don't see the tags in the story editor, so I can not map styles to tags, or can I?

:: Working on Mac with Javascript - InDesign CS2 ::

CODE :



with (app.activeWindow.activePage.textFrames.add()) { 
geometricBounds = gBoundsFilm1;

for (g=0; g<=f1Days[y].xmlElements.length-1; g++) {

insertionPoints.item(0).contents = f1Days[y].xmlElements[g].xmlElements.item("hour").contents +"\n";

insertionPoints.item(0).contents = f1Days[y].xmlElements[g].xmlElements.item("title").contents +"\n"; 
}

}



* **********************************************************************

By the way, can somebody explain me what these insertionPoints are, how they work?
