Indesign content -> Linux -> Web

[Mitch Wiedemann]

Does anyone have a workable method for moving the text (not the layout, 
images, etc.) from an Adobe InDesign document to a format that I can use 
in Fedora?

My co-workers are using Macs with InDesign to create print pubs, and I 
need to get at the text, so that I can put it up on the Web.  I'm 
currenly trying to see if the "Package for GoLive" output will be of any 
use to me.

I know, I know, the content should be developed in an non-proprietary 
format BEFORE getting placed into InDesign, but that ain't currently how 
it's working.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Use Scribus. Works fine under OSX as well.

Thanks,  I do use Scribus, and it works quite well for the little DTP 
that I do.  But "Use Scribus" isn't really an answer to the question 
that I posted.

InDesign can handle xml import/export, they say, although we've never 
tried it. But you should be able to export into a structured xml doc and 
then simply extract content. The reason I've never tried it is that 
getting our designers to do anything differently is impossible :-(.

GoLive was really dumb, if I remember, it basically outputted jpegs of 
the InDesign doc.
