How is the quality of In5's code?

Question

Hi, I'm being asked about the quality of the code In5 produces. How quickly does it load? Is there a lot of unused Javascript? I have no clue what makes for good code, so a little info about why In5's code is great would be helpful :)

Thanks
Maurice

The code that in5 produces is frequently updated to 

• Add new features
• Ensure that in5-exported content works on the most current browsers
• Work with InDesign updates
• Address issues that may arise

You can review the updates and see what they contain in the changelog:

How quickly a layout may export from InDesign or how quickly the exported content may load for your audience can depend on how the content is set up in the InDesign file.
