= ICML files =
ICML files are useful, since they ensure that the structural information of the Markdown source files is also present in the inDesign projects, which use them.

With ICML it is also possible to update the content and structure of the inDesign projects, by changing the Markdown source files, converting the once more to ICML. For this to happens is however necessary that inDesign remains linked to its source, and that the designers works with paragraph and chapter styles, instead of directly into the text.

'''Note: ''malformatted links in the markdown files'' will create problems when imported into inDesign.'''


== Place ICMLs ==
Open inDesign and ... 

'''Place your output.icml in a inDesign project.'''

The Place function is in: File > Place (shortcut: Apple+D)

== Design with Styles ==
'''Style the content using paragraph and character styles. '''

Paragraph/Characters styles are in: Type > Paragraph/Character Styles 

== ICML Content updates ==
Using Sublime Text, edit one ICML file adding some text to it.

See the content being updated in inDesign.


== Hands off content ==
'''In in inDesgin content shall remain untouched until the last moment'''

If you change the content of the articles inDesign, the link between the inDesign content and its source ICML file will be lost, and it no longer be able to be updated.

This "disconnection" should only be the last step to be done on your design workflow.
