I do. I just run it through pandoc first. I think you’re kinda shadow boxing here, so I am going to clarify just one more time. I want to get rid of the code I don’t want. Sometimes I forget to first isolate the code I do. Context: author comes to me with an InDesign file from a designer that can’t be bothered to make the ebook. InDesign file is a mess, with lots of arbitrarily named paragraph and character styles, applied inconsistently and with lots of in-text overrides that mean nothing. Clean up the InDesign file within reason and export an ePub. Every paragraph has a class. Most mean nothing. Random spans everywhere. Most* mean nothing. I don’t like working with markup like that, and I’m sure you don’t either. Easiest way I know of to get a clean slate from that is to first run it through pandoc. InDesign > ePub > pandoc > epub > the actual work. We are actually in agreement.
*Save 3: bold, italic, and bolded italic; which I kick myself for having to redo by forgetting to isolate those first.
