Publisher has incorrect sign on decoration when importing XML from InDesign

[John Jackson]

I imported an InDesign file, and found that the formatting was off in the resulting file. On inspection, I can see that the import code has the wrong sign on one of the XML objects.

As can be seen in this screenshot, the "RuleBelowOffset" of "17.9999…3" is being imported as "Bottom: -1p6.5" (with a minus sign) when it should be set as "Bottom: 1p6.5" (with a positive value).

In the screenshot, you can see that I have corrected the first entry ("salads & sauces") and the decoration appears correctly below the text. But in the subsequent entries (such as "soups") the decoration is appearing at the x-height…

I can fix these manually as I only have a few files to import, but it would be great to get this reviewed and fixed. There may be other places where that sort of object ("RuleBelow…") is being given an incorrect sign.

Hi @John Jackson Welcome to the forums.

Sorry for the delay in replying, we are still very busy from our V2 apps release.

Would you be able to provide a copy of the document shown in the screenshot so that we have a file that can be referenced.
