Why is the text in duplicate TextStyleRanges?

I use the COM API of c# InDesign (I don't know if that makes a difference, my guess is that this behavior would be the same with other technologies as well).

I have a story in a document that looks like the following (this is a simplified example, and also, this document was created not by me, but rather given to me by a designer):

"This is the first sentence. It's the second sentence. »

When I did this document with the SDK, I treat each TextStyleRange in all paragraphs of the story. What is the right approach to use to convert the text to a different format?

My problem is that the values of the Paragraph.Contents and the TextStyleRange.Contents are incompatible. I created a little app to test that goes through paragraphs and the textStyleRanges and writes the value of the content property. The result is similar to the following:

Paragraph 1, contents: "this is the first sentence."

1.1 TextStyleRange, contents: "this is the first sentence."

Paragraph 2, content: "" this is the "".

TextStyleRange 2.1, content: 'this '.

2.2 TextStyleRange, content: "the second sentence is."

Paragraph3, content: "second sentence".

3.1 TextStyleRange, content: "second sentence."

So as you can see, the textStyleRanges of the second paragraph contains text that is not in the property contained in the second paragraph. And this piece of text is repeated in the last paragraph. So if I have to go and treat each TextStyleRange, then I find myself with the following text:

"This is the first sentence. It is the second sentence. second sentence. »

If the last two words are duplicated.

I don't know why this duplication is in the data, it does not appear if I open the indd file in InDesign.

Also, if I export the document in IDML, it produces sort of a correct result, something like this:

< history Self = "u917" AppliedTOCStyle = "n" TrackChanges = "false" StoryTitle = "" $ID / "AppliedNamedGrid ="n">"

< ParagraphStyleRange AppliedParagraphStyle = "ParagraphStyle/lead" >

< CharacterStyleRange AppliedCharacterStyle = "CharacterStyle / $ID / [no style character]" >

< content > This is the first sentence. < / content >

< / CharacterStyleRange >

< CharacterStyleRange AppliedCharacterStyle = "CharacterStyle / $ID / [no style character]" >

< content > is the < / content >

< Br / >

< content > second sentence. < / content >

< / CharacterStyleRange >

< / ParagraphStyleRange >

< / history >

What can be the reason for this? How can I programatically understand that I don't have to deal with the last paragraph?

This is due to a unfortunate change in behavior since (thinking) possibly CS2-> CS3. "TextStyleRange" allows to limit the content to a single paragraph, but something has changed and now it * may * extend into the following paragraphs that have the same formatting.

As it also happens in Javascript, it must be intentional and can be integrated. Note that "search text" in the user interface * also * works the same (maybe it was to not do, too long ago).

For Javascript, I can work around it by comparing the index of the latest range of text style with the index of the last character in the paragraph of its parent. This works, because the 'index' indicates a shift in * characters * at the beginning of a story.

If you already work according to paragraph in any case, it may be useful first to collect all the starting index of each paragraph. Then, just to test the latest range of style against that and it down if it exceeds.

... Annoying, isn't?

  • Why is the text I add tilted by default?

    I use: Adobe Illustrator 2015.2.1 Release on OSX (yosemite).

    When I press T, then start typing the text is inclined to about 30-40degrees. See the screenshot: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/35370420/test_text_ai.png.

    How do I change it back to be horizontal by default, so each time I start typing the text it is placed horizontally? Under Type-> Type horizontal Orientation is selected.

    I know that I can turn the box, but it's a pain to have to run whenever I type text.

    In Illustrator on windows 7 (64-bit), the same version, the text is placed as planned, horizontally.

  • Why is the text in my master page header reformatted after the publication of Business Catalyst?

    Everything goes well with the text in my master page header in Muse, but when you are viewing my site online, the text is reformatted and a biased. I contacted tech support, and they told me that there is a problem with Business Catalyst, they are working on right now. The workaround is to open your site in Muse, click 'File', choose 'Properties of the Site' and under "Advanced", uncheck «Enable in the browser Edition.» Once you publish the site again, the problem should disappear. I'm curious to hear if anyone else has had this problem and if this workaround is successful or if you know other solutions.

    Hi Rebecca,.

    If you are publishing to Business Catalyst, go to file > properties of the Site in Muse. The 'Advanced' Panel will turn off IBE. We will address this problem in an update very soon.
