To avoid hierarchy conflicts between the placeholder hierarchy and the paragraph
hierarchy, the paragraph structure is flattened, which means that PARAGRAPH and
RICHTEXT elements become siblings. In this case, the PARACHAR attribute is not
applied, and the Modifier XML should include the &hardReturn; entity to represent
paragraph break characters.
The OWNER attribute of the TEXTPH and TEXTNODEPH elements refers to the ID of the
XTensions software that is responsible for the placeholder. The xml namespace returns
all placeholders from all XTensions software. The default value for placeholders is
1347639377 (this is the XTension ID of PlaceholderSXT XT). If you want to create
placeholders for your own XTensions software, use that XTensions software ID here.
Working with metadata
You can attach box-level metadata to a QuarkXPress project created from XML using
the Modifier DTD. For example, if you import a picture from a content management
system into a box, you can store the unique ID of that picture (and other information,
such as the last-modified date) with the box containing that picture. When you
deconstruct the project, you can read the metadata (for example, to track the usage
of licensed pictures).
You can attach metadata to picture boxes, text boxes, tables, lines, and text paths.
QuarkXPress Server metadata takes the form of key/value pairs. For more information,
see the Modifier DTD.
