FAQ: XML output format

Q: How does the XML output created by BatchXSLT for InDesign look like?

A: As an abbreviated summary, the main structure is:
<indd_document>
    <page page_sequence="1">
        <article id="1">
            the rich tagged article content....
        </article>
    </page>
    .... more page elements
    <page page_sequence="88">
        <article id="345">
            the rich tagged article content....
        </article>
    </page>
</indd_document>
The detailed description of elements and attributes is contained in the manual's reference section (starting around page 33): http://www.manuals.epaper-system.com/get_manual.php?f=BatchXSLT4Ind_HOWTO_en_htm
