Hello all,

Is there a way to insert a dummy tag say "<dummy id="something"/>" in
story and not in structure or an element and make it behave like XML
element (I mean I do want to add it as content).

Let me try to explain what I am trying to do.

I have lots of Indesign documents (XML import) wherein I am trying to add
a dummy tag (<dummy id="something"/>) on each and every page (in story). I
need this piece of information in my exported xml for different purpose. I
am using:

myDoc.pages[i].textFrames.itemByName("something").insertionPoints.item(-1).contents="<dummy
id="something"\/> ";

I understand this will not work because I am inserting the <dummy
id="something"\/> as a content to story and also it shifts my content from
page 2 onward giving me wrong story end on each page. This I sorted out
by splitting story for each page but still would prefer to make it behave
like tag/comment. I tried to comment it but it will be text again.

Is there a way to get this done ............. something adding xml element
to paragraph. Weird I know.

Any thoughts will be appreciated.
