Style names are an important way to describe the meaning of the paragraph. ScML uses a series of abbreviated class names that correspond with style names to describes document elements based on their structural function and articulates the relationships among elements.

To apply Export Tags to Paragraph or Character Styles choose InDesign Window menu > Styles > Paragraph Styles or Character Styles, from the respective panel menu choose Style Options and select Export Tagging:

InDesign’s Character Style Option dialog with Export Tagging option selected

When everyone uses the same naming conventions everybody involved in your workflow, both now and in the future, has a better chance of finding what they want and knowing it is complete.

This check is checking all class names applied to paragraph styles.

Paragraph styles without export tags applied are not permitted and are flagged.

Allowed Class Names

A full list of expected tag names can be found on the Scribe website here.
