    Default Re: XML and Tables

    Johan,

    InDesign's XML table model is very simple. It doesn't support things like merged cells or table styling attributes. I'm hopeful that in future versions of InDesign there will be a more robust XML table model. Until then, if you want to import pre-styled tables you'd be better off using InDesign Tagged Text. Another approach you might consider is to automate the styling of the table after import. There is a commercial plug-in called Smart Styles (Woodwing software) that does this or it can be done with a script.
