just to follow up, I got the script working by using:
tell XML Element id of associated XML elements of text frame 1 of story myCounter of myDocument to make XML Attribute with properties {name:"author", value:authorName}
although i couldn't get working:
set myXMLElement to XML Element id of associated XML elements of text frame 1 of story myCounter of myDocument
tell myXMLElement to make XML Attribute with properties...
which would have been tidier...
A supplementary question (!) - i have mapped xml tags to paragraph styles, then exported the xml, but I cannot get any paragraph returns to show in the xml.
i.e. intro para style gets tagged, but then the rest of the copy is in body para style. All the text in body para style gets mapped into one xml tag, all run together.
Any way to show the paragraph returns in the resulting xml?
Cheers,
James
