Mandatory style use
In a file aimed to be uploaded to Wedia, all texts effects must come from paragraph styles or character styles. It is forbidden to format manually your texts: you must create and apply paragraph styles and/or character styles on your texts. Following this rule is fundamental if you expect your document to be correctly handled by the platform.

Since version 2023.1.0, Font, color, text size overlays can be added to the Paragraph / Character styles rules, this is described in the next Article

Please read the Article : Adding Style / Font / Color / Size rules in a tag to understand how to control the permissions given to the end user to apply formatting.

Formatting texts in Adobe InDesign: key points

The Wedia system heavily relies on Paragraph and Character styles to control the styling options given to the end user. Font, font-size, color rules overrides can be defined since version

, but it is good practice to first create a great Styles set to streamline text formatting rules.

For each paragraph, text formatting (using paragraph & character styles) must follow this logic:

  • text must be ruled by a paragraph style,

  • extras have to be handled with character styles (in addition for the variations of the text).

...

Warning

Warning

You must avoid the following situations:

  • no paragraph style applied ([Basic Paragraph] style only) to a text

  • only have character styles applied to your texts (without paragraph style)

  • manual override on a paragraph style (you must create and apply the correspondent character style to the text to clear overrides).

...

Tabs are allowed in your documents. All alignment and leaders are accepted.

Warning

Warning

Using tabs features requires configurating the server with the mode "PRE". Please contact you Wedia’s project manager to activate this mode.

...

Paragraph rules in paragraph styles are allowed in your documents. The server will compose them with no difficulty.

Note

Warning

It is recommended to avoid rules having a weight below 0.5pt in black, and below 0.75pt in four-color process.

...

In Adobe InDesign you can create nested styles, to apply specific styles to some words in your paragraph. For example, to have the first words of your paragraph in orange, you just have to create a nested style applying the character style "text_orange" you would have created.

...

Warning

Warning

Nested styles are not supported in documents for Wedia.

...

Desktop-publishing softwares allow you to insert text variable, such as text treatment software do, to insert automatically, for example, the date of creation or the name of the file.

Warning

Warning

The use of text variables is not compatible with Wedia

...

Even it is not a problem to upload to the platform a file having texts in overset, we do not recommend you to do so, as it will confuse final users.

...

Warning

Warning

Never leave a line break at the end of your text. This would create an overset text when you will upload your file to the platform.
