InDesign CC will do live ebook indexes!

We are excited to announce that the next version of InDesign, InDesign CC (Creative Cloud), will be able to use embedded index markers to create live linked ebook indexes, using the EPUB export.

The linked epub index feature is illustrated live at Terry White's Top

Terry White is Adobe's Worldwide Creative Suite Design Evangelist.

Dave Ream and I met with the Adobe InDesign Engineers in September last year to facilitate this feature, and ASI is ecstatic
that Adobe was able to implement it in time for this release of InDesign. Adobe's Chris Kitchener and Douglas Waterfall are heroes to the indexing community for their work to get this feature live and ready to go.

If you want to thank Adobe for this feature, there is a commenting feature on Terry White's blog. Leave a note for Terry about how exciting this is, and how much indexers appreciate it.

Please help us thank Adobe by leaving a comment on ASI’s Facebook page. We'll be sure to send a link to Chris,
Douglas, and the Adobe team.

This feature will only be available in the Creative Cloud version of InDesign. Desktop versions, ending at CS6, will not have this
capability. InDesign CC is expected to ship through subscription in late June.
