Introduction
A plug-in that adds in features to the existing XML capability of
InDesign to support rich, cross media workflows. It provides a
mechanism for resolving media references in imported XML and placing
in-line graphics referenced within the XML, along with converting
between InDesign native tables and XML-based tables. It is set up to
work with XML written in Simplified DocBook XML
