    Thank you for trying out the MathML feature in InDesign! The math objects created using this feature are placed as SVGs, and hence they exclusively support RGB colours.If you try to apply a non RGB colour (CMYK/LAB/HSV-based), then by design it is converted to RGB before it is applied to the math object. This conversion is designed to enable users to continue using document colours that are not RGB-based for the math object SVGs.

    Thank you for the explanation of the issue, but unfortunately it does not SOLVE the issue. I'd argue that the majority of users of MathML are going to print publications, and in this instance colour DOES matter. It is frustrating that two potentially great improvements to InDesign (the other is generative expand) are ruined because the improvements weren't made with the print industry in mind - an industry that uses CMYK and spot colour channels.

    The fix of the issue is now available in the latest InDesign 2024(v19.5.0.084). We recommend you upgrade to the latest version for the fix.

    Kindly update the data source file with the POSIX style path in Macintosh to work with data merge functionality smoothly. Please refer to the helpx https://helpx.adobe.com/in/indesign/using/data-merge.html to know more about the difference between HFS and Posix style paths.

    You can get the actual POSIX path of a file by right-click it in the Finder while holding Option (or right-click, then press Option) > Copy as pathname menu. This can help you explore the correct POSIX paths to ensure you're using them correctly.

    Note: Relative path as such /<foldername>/<filename> is no longer supported after the fix, as it considers the starting “/” as an absolute path. Instead, the recommendation is to omit the starting “/” and use <foldername>/<filename> instead or any of the other existing ways to access the…

    I've created a test file with links and images and test text to try and replicate the fault. Follow the steps in the InDesign file attached.

    Put simply, text – whether it is UTF-8 or UTF-16 can import unicode characters that are meant to represent emojis etc, and this is demonstrated in the test file. While not in the minion character set, I've created a GREP style that looks for unicode characters and changes them to apple color emoji. That bit works.
    What does NOT work is when importing the text as part of a data merge... instead the unicode characters are completely skipped.
    Links to the testfile are here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/32graq18jww5itp/AAAu0Y2bJnCiXjseSTBBFLcJa?dl=0

    I agree with the other posters that the InDesign Dev team has misunderstood the brief here and MUST REOPEN THIS REQUEST. Read the comments below mine in date order to understand how the users would like the feature to ACTUALLY work!
