exporting IDML Document to XML

Question

I want to know if there is a way where i can export a document created in InDesign to XML provided a DTD is given, when i tried to do one by selecting export option and format as XML, i got the below output.

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>

<Root />

The InDesign document i tried to export is of 250 pages, but the output i got is only two lines first giving XML declaration and the second as root. please let me know how i can export this document in XML format.

Thanks

You cant straight away export it to XML, you have to either map or you should have loaded XML earlier into indesign.
