I’m working on a project for a monthly InDesign-based magazine that enables them to put their content online via WordPress.
The current workflow is either:
-
Copy/pasting from InDesign to a Word document (by the magazine staff with access to InDesign) and then copy/pasting from Word to the various fields in WP (by an intern without access to InDesign but access to Word)
-
Create a CSV that contains all of the post data and use CSV Importer to import to WordPress.
Thus, I have two questions:
- Is there a better InDesign => WordPress workflow than the ones I discuss above?
- If not, what a good way of pasting a large amount of multi-line HTML data into a spreadsheet?
Massive gratitude to anyone who can help with this.
Edit: The solution I’m looking for involves as little InDesign-side work as possible. I’ll spend a month writing an XMLRPC plugin for InDesign from scratch or something similarly stupid if it means not having to retag page elements for a decade worth of issues — so long as that really is the best possible route.
