InDesign Script: Parallel Texts Engine
One common layout configuration for academic books consists of a side-by-side translation (e.g. original text recto, translation verso), with footnotes to the translation spanning the entire spread.
This can be a difficult layout for book designers, especially for long books, because the translation appearing on any given spread must exactly match the original text facing it, while space must be left on both sides of the spread for any footnotes.
This video demonstrates a custom InDesign script that is built to handle this complex, multi-text configuration.
The script itself is too specialized to be offered publicly on the Id-Extras.com website, but if you think it is something that could he...

How to work around InDesign's ScriptUI dropdown list bug, with particular emphasis on Mastermatic
Просмотров 862 месяца назад
Recent versions of InDesign (I haven't checked, but probably at least since 2020) have a nasty bug when it comes to ScriptUI dropdown lists. If a list contains more entries than can be shown on the screen, it becomes impossible to select those entries the normal way. This is a real problem for scripts like Mastermatic, which rely on the user being able to select any paragraph style they have cr...

    If the paragraph styles use specific names, such as "Chapter," "Head," "Section," etc., you can create a style group, called for example, "Mastermatic." Place all styles will using in Mastermatic inside this group, and push it to the top of InDesign styles list. This ensures the styles appears at the beginning of the dropdown list.

      Yes, that should work too. Again, the whole issue is only relevant to documents that have several dozen paragraph styles.

    • @sonatas
      @sonatas 2 года назад

      Yes, they go left to right, then top to bottom, just like plain text would (they flow inline with text). Of course, I think with the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) version of InDesign it's possible to set up a text frame that would flow top to bottom. In that case, they would follow the flow of the frame. But in the English version, it's as you say.

      The "Auto-Character Styles" add-on that is linked to in the description above comes with this feature (it's bundled as a free script along with the main product). It should work also with older versions of InDesign. Otherwise, it is always possible to find a character style the old-fashioned way in InDesign, using the Find/Change dialog.
