Frequently Asked Questions

Some characters are missing

This is an infrequent, but known issue.
Support for non-English characters and special characters has improved over past versions, but is still not 100%. If the plugin finds a character is does not recognize, it will be replaced with a box, making it easy to fix manually in InDesign.
If you come across this, please email the TaggedText file and a link to the live post on your site to [email protected]

Something is broken, or I have a great idea.

Please create an issue on the GitHub page.
