Digital Editions General export options
The General section of the Digital Editions Export Options dialog box includes the following options.
The metadata from the document (or the style source document if a book was selected) is included with the
exported file.
Specify the publisher information that appears in the eBook metadata. You may want you to specify a URL for the publisher
so that someone who receives the eBook can visit the web page and purchase the eBook.
Every EPUB document requires a unique identifier. You can specify the unique identifier attribute. If you leave this field empty,
a unique identifier is automatically created.
If you select Base On Page Layout, the reading order of the page items in the EPUB is determined by their location on the page.
InDesign reads from left to right and top to bottom. If you want more control over the reading order, use the XML Tags panel to tag your page
items. If you select Same As XML Structure, the order of the tags in Structure View determines the reading order. See Tag page items.
Select Map To Unordered List to convert bullet paragraphs into List Items, which are formatted in HTML using the <ul> tag. Select
Convert To Text to format using the <p> tag with bullet characters as text.
Determines how numbers are converted in the HTML file.
Converts numbered lists into List Items, which are formatted in HTML using the <ol> tag.
Converts numbered lists into List Items, but assigns a <value> attribute based on the paragraph’s current
number in InDesign.

Digital Editions Images options
The Images section of the Digital Editions Export Options dialog box includes the following options. From the Image Conversion menu, determine
how images are exported to HTML.
Preserves InDesign formatting, such as rotation or scale, as much as possible for web images.
Lets you choose whether the optimized images in your document are converted to GIF or JPEG. Choose Automatic to let
InDesign decide which format to use in each instance.
Lets you control how InDesign handles colors when optimizing GIF files. The GIF format uses a limited color palette, which
cannot exceed 256 colors.
Choose Adaptive to create a palette using a representative sample of colors in the graphic without any dithering (mixing of small spots of colors to
simulate additional colors). Choose Web to create a palette of web-safe colors that are a subset of Windows and Mac OS system colors. Choose
System (Win) or System (Mac) to create a palette using the built-in system color palette. This choice may cause unexpected results.
