   Planning a magazine site with online and printed versions.

   Are there any automated or structured ways to get text from WP to InDesign, perhaps using other programs or scripts even? Or is cut-and-paste the only way?

   I'm trying to do the same thing. I've used InDesign in the past to lay out for print on lulu.com from a Drupal site before and was hoping to export a Wordpress site in similar fashion. It seems like the built in export wraps all the content in CDATA tags.

   This person might have a solution but haven't tried it yet

   This person posted a script which will list stories in a single HTML page. Unfortunately InDesign doesn't import HTML, only XML.

   tidy might be used to turn the HTML into XML, dunno.

   I figured Wordpress of all blogging platforms would have an easy way to go from database to print, but it seems not?
