BoxParam XTensions software lets you import only files in the document pool. Modifier
XTensions software, however, lets you import files that are located anywhere on the server
computer, at any accessible network location, or supplied as part of a multipart HTTP request.
Notes
Exporting Job Jackets files during deconstruction
While using the xml namespace to deconstruct a QuarkXPress project, you can specify
the jjname parameter in the same request to output the Job Jackets file to the document
pool. For example:
http://localhost:8080/xml/project.qxp?jjname=jjfilename.xml
You can then use the construct namespace to create new QuarkXPress projects that
are based on that Job Jackets file's resources and layout specifications.
The jjname parameter exports QuarkXPress project resources and layout specifications
to a Job Ticket. Resources defined at the Job Jackets level are not exported to the Job
Ticket.
Using XML deconstruct and construct
The xml namespace deconstructs a project according to the Modifier DTD. The
construct namespace lets you turn an XML representation of a QuarkXPress project
back into a QuarkXPress project.
This means you can deconstruct a project into an XML representation, change the
XML in accordance with the Modifier DTD, and then have the server generate an
updated version of the QuarkXPress project. You can even create new QuarkXPress
projects from scratch using XML.
In addition, you can use the construct namespace to:
Create a page based on a master page
Create a project from XML, using a Job Jackets file as the basis for the project
Modify text font and style, including OpenType styles
Apply style sheets and local formatting to text
Create and populate tables
Import pictures into picture boxes and specify picture attributes
The DTD used for XML construction and deconstruction is completely
Unicode-compliant, making it ideal for use in international publishing. Furthermore,
the use of this DTD ensures that the schema of XML output created by Constructor
does not change when server preferences change. For more information, see "Modifier
schema (annotated)."
Some minor QuarkXPress features are not available through the Modifier DTD. However,
this DTD represents the majority of all user-editable aspects of a QuarkXPress project.
The deconstruct namespace/request no longer exists. If you try to use it in this
version of QuarkXPress Server, an error is returned.
