Table Of Contents
3 = the first user-defined master page in the Job Jackets file (by default, the master
page named "A-Master A")
For example, to create a master page based on the first user-defined master page in the
Job Jackets file, you could use XML like the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?>
<PROJECT JOBJACKET=" file://brochures/BrochureJJ.xml"
JOBTICKET="Tall US Brochure Ticket"
PROJECTNAME="project1.qxp">
<LAYOUT>
<ID NAME="Layout 1"/>
<SPREAD>
<ID UID="1" />
<PAGE MASTER="3" POSITION="LEFTOFSPINE">
<ID UID="2" />
</PAGE>
...
Note that each page has a POSITION attribute that indicates where that page falls with
regard to the spine.
Working with layouts
QuarkXPress Server lets you create layouts from scratch in several ways:
You can create a layout using the default layout properties, as specified in the
server Job Jackets file.
You can create a layout using a layout specification in a template's Job Jackets
structure.
You can create a layout using a specific height and width.
To create a layout using the server Job Jackets file's default settings, use XML like the
following:
<PROJECT>
<LAYOUT OPERATION="CREATE">
<ID NAME="New Layout"/>
<SPREAD>
<ID UID="1"/>
<BOX>
<ID NAME="Box5"/>
<TEXT>
<STORY>
<PARAGRAPH PARASTYLE="Normal">
<RICHTEXT>Scrollable Layout</RICHTEXT>
</PARAGRAPH>
</STORY>
</TEXT>
</BOX>
</SPREAD>
</LAYOUT>
</PROJECT>
To create a layout using a layout specification in the template's Job Jackets structure,
use XML like the following:
<PROJECT>
<LAYOUT OPERATION="CREATE" LAYOUTSPECIFICATION="NewLayoutSpec">
<ID NAME="New Layout"/>
<SPREAD>
<ID UID="1"/>
<BOX>
<ID NAME="Box5"/>
<TEXT>
<STORY>
<PARAGRAPH PARASTYLE="Normal">
<RICHTEXT>Scrollable Layout</RICHTEXT>
</PARAGRAPH>
</STORY>
</TEXT>
